Here's a rare soul classic brought in by IMW Guitar teacher Randy, who thought a tune one from Chicago Girl Group Lovelites would make a nice addition to all-girl teen band Fatal Attraction's repertoire. Lovelites were a 1960's high-school trio composed of sisters Patti Hamilton, Rozena Petty and friend, Barbara Peterman.

This track,"How Can I Tell My Mom & Dad" boldly addressed the then taboo subject of teen pregnancy and went on to sell 55,000 copies locally and 400,000 nationally, peaking at number 15 on Billboard's Soul chart and landing the group a deal with MCA-owned, Uni Records.
