270. ARCHIE BELL AND THE DRELLS - Tighten Up

15 седмици; № 1

Автори: Арчи Бел, Били Бътлър

Продуцент: Скипър Лий Фрейжър

Издадена: март 1968, Atlantic

След като Бел получава повиквателна през май1967 г., иска да запише с групата си Drells, преди да замине за Виетнам. Избира "Tighten Up", старо демо на бандата. Във Виетнам Бел е прострелян в крака; парчето става номер едно, докато той е във военната болница и се опитва да убеди хората, че песента е нагова.
