Gloria is the first album by the Shadows of Knight, released in 1966 on Dunwich Records 666. The title track, a cover of the song by Them, became the group`s biggest hit, reaching number 10 on the Billboard charts.
The band released the Gloria album in the summer of 1966, after releasing "Gloria" as a single backed by "Darkside" in December 1965. The single reached #10 on the Billboard charts in May 1966.[2] Later in the year, "Oh Yeah" was released from the same album as a single backed by "Light Bulb Blues", and charted as high as #39. The album liner notes credit the album as "Produced for Dunwich Records" instead of crediting a specific producer.[3]
Although the band`s association with "Gloria" has caused some to categorize them as one-hit wonders, Cub Koda of AllMusic pushed back against this notion. He reviewed their debut favorably, saying "it positively rocks with a raw energy of a band straight out of the teen clubs, playing with a total abandon and an energy level that seems to explode out of the speakers. Equal parts Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Who, and snotty little Chicago-suburb bad boys, the Shadows of Knight could easily put the torch to Chess blues classics, which make up the majority of the songs included here. Their wild takes on `I Just Want to Make Love to You,` `Oh Yeah,` and `Got My Mojo Working` rank right up there with any British Invasion band`s version from the same time period."[1]
