Churchill High in Eugene, Oregon...
Christmas '66...
Can TOTALLY see 'em playing "I Need Her"
Somehow completely missed this topic. Fab-funking-tastic picture of the band behind one of my favorite 45s! Though he´s supposed to be on organ I´m guesstimating that´s Round Randy in the middle. "The supreme master of the constipated vocal" (G45 blurb)
Great stuff!

Westex these pics rock.
I have a friend who like me collects year books... i'm gonna try and get him to post his year book pics here... some are simply divine.
I have no idea how to scan my yearbooks..... however love what you've put up so far.
favourite for me is the S-L-I-C-K babe... man I wish my school had chicks like that.

This pic from a Lansing, MI yearbook (i think) did not have the lyrics from the Wanted, but it should have
"Friends always tease and play,
They never understand what you used to say.
When I was with you I felt so fine,
Now I realize my love was so blind.
Now I can't even talk to you,
without feeling sad and blue.
When I was with you, you cheated and lied.
Now I wish I could die."

Detroit, MI 1967

No band named, but one night, somewhere in the night in the Midwest of 1966. the veil was drawn back and for the length of a dance, this teenage underdog was allowed a glimpse of how the other half lived
