"Come Go with Me" was an R&B hit for Baltimore group, Pockets in 1978. It also made the Hot 100 chart.
The song had a definite R&B feel, and featured horns and strings. The Earth Wind & Fire influence that was noted by Billboard would have come from its co-writer and producer Verdine White.
Released in October 1977, the song debuted in the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 92. The song eventually peaked at No. 84.
Being the lively song it was, it did much better on the R&B chart, and after 18 weeks, reached its peak at No. 17.
In Jet Magazine, the song was no 15 in the Soul Brothers Top 20 Singles list.
A remixed version of the song (Joey Negro Found A Place Mix) is featured on the album, Remixed With Love By Joey Negro, Vol. 2 by Joey Negro, which also features remixes of "I Love Music" by The O'Jays, "Love Ballad" by George Benson, and "Ride Like the Wind by Christopher Cross. Prior to mix of "Come Go With Me" appearing on the album, Negro received the multi-track mix for the song but it contained a version by a completely different singer. One he considered inferior. Possibly this was an earlier version as it is with mixes that don't appear on the album. Eventually the multi-track tapes for the released version were located which made the inclusion of "Come Go With Me" possible.
The song also appears on side 1 of Eli Escobar's Money Lotion #8 - Escobar Edits on Money Studies Records ms-046, which features Colonel Abrahams "Trapped", and Loleatta Holloway's "Catch Me On The Rebound" on the flip side.
