Here’s a group of guys brave enough to drop their cool facade and sing “I’ll Always Love My Mama.” The bravery paid off for The Intruders and they grabbed a #36 hit on the US Hot 100 (#6 R&B).

“I’ll Always Love My Mama” was written by Gamble/Huff and McFadden/Whitehead and originally appeared on The Intruders’ 1973 LP Save The Children.
