"Yeah, they seemed 'unhip'… but then there was that magical fuzztone guitar riff on 'Let’s Hang On,' one of the most electrifying of its type to blare out of AM radios in the mid-’60s.

Overpowering in their emotionalism, there’s no question that tunes like 'Big Man In Town' had a major influence on fellow Jersey boy Bruce Springsteen, who later titled one of his own tunes 'Walk Like A Man.'"
