The songs "Special Girl" & "Ain't Got No Home"? That was recorded by a Minnesota group (based at Mankato State University) which traveled around the midwest, including Iowa. The 45 was released in December, 1964. 'Tho "Special Girl" sounds out of step for the times!

Jim Oldsberg's self published (1997) 252 pg book, "The Flip Side" has the entire story of the Radiants, and over two dozen southern Minnesota based rock & roll groups from 1955-1970. Highest recommendation
