ARC/Yorkville Records president Bill Gilliland discovered The Untouchables (which was half of another band - The Continentals) in Halifax and was so impressed with their original songs he signed them to the label and brought them to Toronto in 1966. He re-christened them The Stitch In Tyme and the members began living in and amongst the flourishing Yorkville Village scene and within a year the band was one of the most popular acts in Toronto.
However, the drug influence and laid-back lifestyle of Yorkville wasn't conducive to songwriting. In order to fulfill at least part of their recording agreement with Yorkville, who was footing the bill for a full-length album in progress, the hastily slapped together a cover version of The Beatles "Got To Get You Into My Life".
The record hit the charts and became a national hit. John Yorke moved to Sault Ste. Marie (where he still resides) and was replaced by Bruce Wheaton formerly of The Continentals/Chester & The Unknowns.
They appeared on several Canadian TV shows including a regular feature on Toronto's "After 4" music show. They toured constantly through Ontario, Quebec and The Maritimes. One of the highlights of their career performing at the official opening of Expo'67 and staying on to rotate a week each at the Ontario Pavilion and at The Garden Of Stars on La Rhonde.
The band went to New York City to record their next single entitled "New Dawn". After returning to Toronto, the band opened a coffee house called The Flick in Yorkville so that they had a place to play.
The band left Arc Records and formed their own company called Flick Entertainment Co. which included a record label and publishing company. They then began writing and recording their own material but when it came time to release their new single "Stop Wastin' Time", Arc Records served them with an injunction preventing them from going further.
Arc's Bill Gilliland and the band tried to reconcile their differences but things did not work out and the band split up in late 1968.
In December 1969 Fullerton and Dauvin joined Skip Prokop and Paul Hoffert in Lighthouse; Wheaton Wheaton went on to form the short lived Rockin' Chair before returning to Nova Scotia with Donnie Morris and Bob Murphy to join SOMA. Wheaton would then form Everyday People followed by Molly Oliver; Bob Murphy switched to rhythm guitar while with SOMA until he left to form the country band Big Buffalo.
There have been several reunions, the last being when John Yorke, Pinky Dauvin, Grant Fullerton and Bruce Wheaton got together to play The Toronto Rock Revival reunion in 1999.
