Always liked this track, not sure is it the same group who did 'I Need Someone' on Uptown which I reckon is crying out for more plays.

Only good thing these Ambassadors did IMO was provide the backing for the Trannells - Blessed With A Love. They were also the 7 Dwarfs, or at least shared some members with them.

I think they were also the ambassadors on fleet, but not the uptown / atlantic / arctic group despite being from philly

====
tranells is crap imo

3 good tracks there then!

I prefer Too Much Of A Good Thing and Stop Girl too

Tis indeed a classic.

Nick Rennie used to have info and photos of them recording this at this address but the link dosen't work for me anymore:

They were a blue eyed group from Virginia recording in Philly? Is this correct?

Came upon this little discussion and thought I’d clear a couple of things up. I’m the sax man from the Ambassadors. That’s the Ambassadors from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, about 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The group started as the Seven Dwarves. In 1964, they added two horns—a trumpet and a sax, very unusual for the time—and became the Ambassadors. Our first gig was at the Silver Springs Fire Hall, near Lancaster. In 1965, we cut our first record, Too Young for Me (flip side: Pork Chops, an instrumental) on the Fleet label. We cut a second disk, I Want a Love (flip side: Those Things Called Girls), which was never marketed. Only one copy of that record exists: a metal and acetate dub. Our third record was Too Much of a Good Thing, on the Pee Vee label (flip side: Whole Lotta Soul). The group had several drummers and bass players over the years, and we lost one singer, who was no longer with the group at the time of Too Much. The Ambassadors continued playing through December, 1966, then disbanded.

In 1984, most of the original members reunited, with a couple of new guys, to play a reunion concert. It went so well that we kept going, playing with various personnel until 1992. We continued with the same music: the sweet soul sound of the sixties. Since 1992, we have reunited several times for one-time concerts, the most recent being in October, 2004.

We played behind a number of acts in the ‘60’s, including Lee Andrew and the Hearts. But we never played behind the Trannells—also from Lancaster, by the way. They were their own band. Our only connection to them was that our bassist on Too Much once played with them.

Our records are occasionally available on e-bay. A brand new copy of Too Much of a Good Thing—never played, still in original sleeve—recently brought $370.

By the way, the Ambassadors from Philadelphia, referred to on this site as the Uptown/Atlantic/Arctic group, was a different group.

'Nuff said. It's great to see interest in our band after more than 40 years!
