A male-female duo,
Don Gardner &
Dee Dee Ford reached the charts in 1962 with "I Need Your Loving," a Top 20 hit in the mould of
Ike & Tina Turner.
Gardner had formed a Philadelphia group called
the Sonotones in 1952, but teamed up with
Ford ten years later. After the success of "I Need Your Loving," several records followed with little success. ~ Jim Worbois
