Human Beinz - Nobody But Me - Ting Interview

[magpiesx5]

Needs another guitar.

[zombieeddie]

I keep expecting Christopher Walken to walk out "Guyz it sounds great but... I need more Cow Bell" LOL

[zombieeddie]

They are sooo lip-singing.

[ROGER459]

Wow...! They still sound GREAT....!

[Janko1492]

The Beings were a great club band at the time but this Good Morning Y-town performance is sacrilegious. Y-town cant live in the past, only glorify it. This kind of thing is killing the cool of the baby-boom generation. The one Youngstown exception is Dennis Seasonsky (Pipers). He must be 60 years old and he still looks and sounds great. By the way, who is the girl? She looks like a Mary Jo that I went to YSU with. When was this show broadcast? The 80's?

[adorablejaney]

The Y-town video is so bad !!! How low can ya stoop?

I was 9 back then,too young for the clubs..but well into music.

Bring back Spring Fling !

Thats where I first saw The Beinz and The Pied Pipers!

Rock on Dennis ! You still got it ! ( and he's so nice in real life !)

Oh yeah...Bring back The Orange Room too !!!

Do you remember the name of the club on Midlothian? I can't for the life of me ! How I wish I could have gone there !!!

Thanks !!!

[Janko1492]

A West Sider!! I was a Liberty boy, so we gravitated towards Niles and Warren. I first saw most of these guys when I was 12-13 at the Golden Record and the Freak-Out. Both of which got burned down. I think the Midlothian club was "The Apartment"

[adorablejaney]

Thanks ! Yep The Apartment! How I remember going past it in the car ( on the way to my aunts in Brownlee Woods) and wishing I could get in !

I remember The Freak -Out too,! Where was that one?

Still miss the old days!

My other aunt worked with Ting's wife at Southside Hosp...When they went to LA to record the second album,he brought us back a bag of goodies from Capitol Records LA ! Still have the stuff !

Of course one of the first to get the first album out in Boardman!

Thanks again !

[adorablejaney]

I did 3 years hard time at YSU in the late 70's/early 80's...the blond looks really familiar...Big hair means the 80's !!!

Boots Bell was my fav instructor !! He was awsome !! Miss those days of radio when it WAS radio !

[Janko1492]

Yeah, I was there 79-78. I was with the Arsty Farsty crowd and I think she was very young and quiet. She probably grad in about 81.

[adorablejaney]

Artsy-Fartsy is good!

I was outta there by 81

We were ALL young back then !

[madicr1313]

hhaha thats my grandpa =]

[teracall]

This is weird. is the guy that made this video playing the original recordings of this hit over the TV version, cause if this band is made up of all new members, then it can't be them. It's the same as the original of the song.

[Triangularthree]

Ting is the only original member,the others in the band were ask by Ting to redo "Nobody But Me"....It is the original song theyn are singing.

[adorablejaney]

Maybe the other three guys got a life!

[adorablejaney]

I agree ! What a sham !!! Hope Dick Belley sues !

Thought Ting had more integrity than that !

Still love the song...lost my respect for "The New Human Beinz"...

[adorablejaney]

LOL ! Still makes my teeth hurt to watch that video!

Aj

[horarwgt]

Kind of odd that the on-camera band is simply miming to the original hit! The song "Nobody But Me" ws first recorded by the Isley Brothers in 1962 but did not become a hit until the Human Beinz came along and took the tune to #8 in 1967-8. Oddly, it was the only real dance track on the "Nobody But Me" album. From that LP came "Turn On Your Love Light," which peaked at #80 in the spring of 1968. The band never scored again. John Richard Belley was lead singer; Ting played rhythm guitar.

[AmericanPunkGarage]

Great group.Thanks for the post.

[stratman2617]

I remember these guys from 1967. This was one of my favorite songs. Sure brings back some old memories. Thanks guys!
