Career
The band was formed in 1963, and toured Germany for a month, playing several sets each day. The band's first recording was a version of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", recorded in Joe Meek's bathroom. They were signed by Pye subsidiary Piccadilly Records, and began working with producer John Schroeder. Line up Fardon, Witcher, Juckes, Packham and Finley.
The Sorrows released their first album, Take a Heart, in 1965 on Piccadilly. The Sorrows played a hard, aggressive version of contemporary R&B; later this style of music was termed Freakbeat.
After the band recached some minor chart positions on the UK Singles Chart, Phil Packham and Don Fardon left the group. Fardon had a UK chart hit with "Indian Reservation".

Those Who Are Wise
by: Kingston TrioI use to sit in the shade of an old cedar tree
And I dream of the days, what they're holdin' for me
But all those should know who gaze at the sky
It's for those who are wise, only those who are wise
And the west winds would blow, they'd be singing to me
They'd say, "Look, you, out yonder, just as far as you can see"
But all those should know who gaze at the sky
It's for those who are wise, only those who are wise
And the years went their way as the good years will go
But my dreams linger on in the hills of my home
And young men should know who gaze at the sky
It is you who are wise, only you who are wise
