I would like to share a story with you, and fans, of how the phrase some kind of wonderful, came to be a song.

I still remember that moment as if it was yesterday. My band, the Soul Brothers Six, had signed a recording contract with a small independent record label in Philadelphia that was owned by Walter Rayfield. We met Walter at a club in Rochester, New York where we played every weekend. He convinced us to sign a management contract, plus a recording contract with him, and invited our group to come to Philly to record. The day we were leaving for Philadelphia, I stopped by the apartment of the girl I was dating, to say goodby.

Her name was Ann White.

John Ellison wrote the song in 20 minutes during a car ride from Rochester to Philadelphia

She had packed me a lunch in a brown paper bag. We stood there in silence for a moment just looking at each other. I knew this was the last time I would see her, I knew she wanted more from me than I could give her, but she understood. I gave her a hug, and we kissed. You could see the highway through the rusted out holes in the floor.

After about four hours into the trip, I ate the sandwich Ann had prepared for me. After I finished the sandwich, I began writing the lyrics to some kind of wonderful on the bag she had packed my lunch in.

Never miss a story

This is the reason for those first three lines. The first line was because at that moment, money could not make me feel the way I was feeling. Once signed to Atlantic Records, the group recorded Some Kind of Wonderful and, according to a book entitled Sweet Soul Music, published in , was a major influence on the sound of modern music.
