The Shades Of Blue was a blue-eyed soul vocal group from Livonia, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Their biggest hit was their 1966 song "Oh How Happy", written by Edwin Starr, which reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, #7 of the R&B charts and made the Top 10 in Canada. That same year, the song "Lonely Summer", again written by Starr, reached #72. Amid changes in popular music tastes in the late 1960s, their later single efforts failed to chart and they disbanded in 1970.
