The Hesitations

The Hesitations are an American R&B group from Cleveland, Ohio. Formed in 1965, they scored several hits in 1967 and 1968, the biggest being their gospel-infused version of the title track to the movie Born Free. After one of the groups singers George "King" Scott was accidentally shot and killed in February 1968, the group disbanded.[1] The Hesitations regrouped in 2006 with new members and are performing and recording once again.

gollark: And the computer science conspiracies, the mathematics conspiracies, the astronomy conspiracies, the entomology conspiracies, the etymology conspiracies, the rock climbing conspiracies, the nutritionist conspiracies... are we just going to ignore those?
gollark: #karens-corner-of-coronavirus-tales maybe?
gollark: Given the US government's ability to mess up everything it touches, I don't think government-paid government-run healthcare would be the best of ideas. But the insurance system is also quite terrible. There's probably an alternative possibly-better way.
gollark: You can't easily go around controlling spread neatly to just people who accept a 0.5% or whatever risk of death (which is still quite bad).
