    Default rock song from the 60's or 70's-Help please!! Thank u

    Hello there to the forum users!
    I am trying to help my husband identify/locate a song he believes is from
    somewhere in the late 60's or early 70's (could be earlier)

    The only things he knows are these:
    rock
    black singer (american?)
    phrase: SLOOPY HANG ON (or..mm..maybe "come on sloopy")??!) is in the text
    Long song-around 20 minutes!!

    That's it, I would really appreciate if someone has a clue to this
    Many thanks and Have a great weekend

    it is called "Hang on Sloopy" by The McCoyys. was in the 60's. But its not 20 min long though, the versions I find are around 4 min long. hope this helps.

    Default thanks papabruce-but that is not it apparently!

    I had also managed to find that song, and even found a sample of it on amazon, by a group called the yardbiords ('64 in UK) but hubby laughed when I played it to him..
    he insists there was a black guy and it was a 20 minute song with those words in it.. I can't find a thing in my searches..
    Thanks anyway!!
