From SunRecords.com: "Best known for their 1965 MGM Records hit “Keep On Dancing,” The Gentrys joined Sun Records as the label entered a new era under Shelby Singleton’s ownership.

Following the dissolution of the band’s original lineup, Jimmy Hart—later known worldwide as one of professional wrestling’s most recognizable personalities—began a new chapter for The Gentrys after being introduced to Knox Phillips, son of Sun founder Sam Phillips. 

After hearing Hart perform original material, Sam Phillips helped connect the project with Shelby Singleton, leading to a new recording chapter that blended Laurel Canyon-inspired harmonies with the band’s signature Memphis rock sound.

Drawn from the Sun vault, It’s Been So Long features rare recordings and previously unreleased tracks produced by Knox Phillips, offering listeners an intimate look at a creative period that remained largely unheard for decades." 

Yellow Pearl is based in Europe. They were initially signed to a multi-single deal with the SONY BMG music label. The first single released was ‘For You And Me’ which immediately shot up to #26 on the European Pepsi Music Charts. The song became a fan-favorite.
