July 25, 2004: George Williams of The Tymes died of cancer at the age of 68. The Philadelphia quartet topped the Billboard chart in 1963 with "So Much In Love" and reached #1 in the UK in 1975 with "Ms Grace"…



The Tymes had hits in the UK in the 1960s and 1970s with songs such as "So Much in Love", a U.S. chart topper and million-seller in 1963…

 














  "You Little Trustmaker"









 "Ms Grace"...







The last of these became the group's biggest UK hit, reaching Number One in the UK Singles Chart in 1975, but barely dented the Billboard Hot 100 after the success of "So Much in Love".

 "Ms Grace"…

While only charting modestly in the U.S., was and remains a regional hit with the Carolina Beach Music scene…
