(PS: He co-wrote "The Warrior" performed by Scandal)



Led by Ex-Mickey Mouse Club member Dick Dodd and produced, and on this song written, by The Four Preps' Ed Cobb (Cobb was the one who wrote Tainted Love, by the way!). This was their only US Top 40 from what I remember, but it's a great one!



They strangled and brutalized the song so much that this version lives in a world of it's own. That's a good thing, by the way.

Also featured in the movie Troll!



Kick ass and heavy for 1966, great for eternity!

Sean Bonniwell RIP.


Keith Olsen turned into a huge hit-making Producer with a roll call including Grateful Dead, Rick Springfield, Pat Bennitar, and Fleetwood Mac!

Just to let you know that someone editing merged my posts with someone else on Page 9. These are the ones I posted.
