The Grodes, sometimes known as The Tongues of Truth, were a garage rock band from Tucson, Arizona, that featured lead singer and songwriter Manny Freiser,[1][2][3] and were active between late 1965 and 1967. They are best remembered for two Manny Freiser written songs, “Cry a Little Longer” and the original version of “Let’s Talk about Girls" (recorded as The Tongues of Truth), later covered by The Chocolate Watchband.[1] Freiser also wrote several songs for fellow Tucson band, The Dearly Beloved.[1][2][3] Many of the songs recorded by both The Grodes and The Dearly Beloved are included on the CD compilation Let's Talk About Girls! Music From Tucson 1964-1968.[1]
