Following his high school graduation, Wood enrolled in Compton College, he assumed the name Brenton Wood, naming himself after his home county. During this period was where his musical interests finally began to manifest themselves. Duly inspired by Jesse Belvin and Sam Cooke, Wood began to cultivate his songwriting skills and also became an accomplished pianist. After signing with Double Shot Records, Wood had a hit single in the spring of 1967 with "The Oogum Boogum Song", which reached number 19 on the R&B charts and number 34 pop. But the real star of the "The Oogum Boogum Song" album came in a seemingly inconspicuous number hidden on the second side "Gimme Little Sign". "Gimme Little Sign" was unique not only for its reggae/blues beat, but also for the fact that the title of the song was never mentioned in the lyrics. (the chorus repeats, "Give me some kind of sign" instead). "Gimme Little Sign" climbed to to the number nine position in September 1967. Brenton Wood continues to perform all over the world. He is
encouraging proof that the only gimmick a true artist needs to succeed in
the musical field is pure talent. Live Concert Video Live Concert Audio *To Download Video and Audio Clips, right click on the link and then click on "Save Target As" to a folder on your computer.
