No article present on Wikipedia for "The Groop" -- a vocal group with the same name as another vocal group already on Wikipedia

Greetings! There was a late-1960s vocal group named "The Groop". I believe they were an American group. They released only one album ("The Groop") in 1969, on the Liberty Records label; this album was re-released with accolades not too long ago. They are mostly known for singing two songs on the 1969 Midnight Cowboy motion picture soundtrack; these (and other of their) songs are available on YouTube.

When I search Wikipedia for information regarding "The Groop", the only entry present is for an *Australian* vocal group with the same name from the early- to mid-1960s. According to the Wikipedia article, the Australian group released numerous albums, on the CBS record label.

I can find no information on the late-1960s American vocal group. How can I help resolve this oversight?

Articles appear because someone put in the effort to write them. If you think this group is of sufficient importance to justify an article, it is rather up to you to write it. 81.132.106.10 (talk) 15:08, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Is this The Groop you're talking about? (One of its members, Corlynn Hanney later appeared on a couple of Leonard Cohen albums: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 and Songs of Love and Hate). You could request an article at Wikipedia:Requested articles/music/Performers, bands and songwriters, though I don't think that will necessarily prompt the article's timely creation. ---Sluzzelin talk 15:24, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
