about

LP and CD are available from www.tastyodds.com

Society's Children were formed in 1968 by Patrick and Doreen Sassone, a mother and son duo from Lansing, Illinois.

Doreen was the lead vocalist. Patrick played guitar and keyboard, while also writing the original material. Shortly after forming the group, they had an opportunity to record for a small independent label. On December 13th 1968 they recorded the songs "Mister Genie Man" and "Slipping Away", along with four other tracks, at the Columbia Studios in Chicago. The record was well played on regional radio stations.

Through the years many other songs were written, recorded, but never released. During this period "Listen" and "I Don't Wanna See Tomorrow" were recorded at Palos Studios. Along the way, Patrick and Doreen had the opportunity to meet the great Curtis Mayfield of "Superfly"-fame, Phil and Leonard Chess (founders of Chess Records), and the Buckinghams who had many national hits in the United States.

Society's Children performed at numerous nightclubs, dances and parties until they disbanded in 1977. Patrick continues to write and record to this day. Sadly, Doreen passed away in 2017. She loved singing and always cherished those early days of Society's Children.
