590 MIGHTY MEMORY #151

WARM AND THE SONGS OF OCTOBER

The Beatles were dethroned in October of '65 with Roy Head. It hit number one on the WARM charts. Head is best known for the 1965 blue-eyed soul international hit, "Treat Her Right recorded by Roy Head and the Traits. After going solo, Head landed several hits on the Country and Western charts between 1975 and 1985. 
During his career of some 50 years, he has performed in several different musical genres and used a somewhat confusing array of record labels, some too small to provide for national marketing and distribution. Roy Head and the Traits held reunions in 2001 and 2007 and were inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in 2007. 
Number 2 was "A Lover's Concerto" by the Toys. Bob Dylan debuted at number 30 with "Positively Fourth Street" followed at number 31 by The Bachelors and a chapel song too.
