Bob Kuban and The Inmen - The Cheater (Original Stereo)

[oldermusiclover]

what an ironic twist considering the title of their song

[shellybellysf]

epgrove1961...are you nuts? No one deserves to be murdered..that's an insult to anyone who has lost a family member who was murdered, in my case they didn't even know who he was, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time in the late afternoon.

[john9944]

This is the real midwest sound opf the 60s. I met them many times on the road. Sir Walter was a really nice guy. I can remember when he disappeared. It was several years later when they found him in a well at his home. This was before BS&T or Chicago. This sound which was popularized by these guys, Spider and the Crabs, the Breakers and probably most notably the Fabulous Flippers is the sound of the Mid-60s from North Dakota to Oklahoma.

[Jgeneraledger23]

This song makes me want to go listen to Paul Revere & The Raiders 'Kicks'. In fact I'm going to listen to that next!

[overbanked]

Look out for the cheetah!!!

[centralparocker]

I love the big finish....!!!!

[nicodemoscarfo]

I dont know bob Kuban but god bless his cheating ass!!

[Nocaro]

@nicodemoscarfo Bob Kuban wasn't "the cheater"...read my notes attached to the song.

[justavideo1000]

I personally saw his show many years ago in Lynn ma

He was great

rip Walter Scott rock n roll heaven

justavideo1000 percent 

[yaliyali123]

i heard about him because the t.v show Medical detectives..:O

[EUROPLANNER]

This song has has the sound of the diddly boppers from the mid sixties. Guys with black pegged pants, DA's and white socks and girls with bee hive hair dos and skirts -tight or a -line. Growing up with the coolest music ever made on earth! I loved this song. It was was when kids whjen out to dance and do the drive in circuits. It has such an uplifting sound, even though the lyrics may not be so positive. America's young people are getting screwed by todays globalist rap promoters .

[sophie1065]

such a wonderful song the  way the music is played and arranged. What a glory,s time for music the 50,s 60,s 70,s and 80,s. But more so for the 60,s This song and many other,s i leastined to in the 60,s. What a wonderul familey reuion. Such class and elgance this era and the 50,s were not the gutter trash it is now. Sicking filthy rap and whinning country music. The artist of today if you can call them that. would not know class elance if it looked tthem in the face. They would run .

[yrdbird]

@sophie1065 Radio was great in those wonderful days of the mid-sixties! My warmest memories of high school were the songs i heard on the radio.

[wfarrar69]

great tune by these guys.actually(if nobody beat me to it)they had 2 more charted hits,but not as big as'the cheater'.their lp of the same name is not bad either.

[1960sgirl1]

Tired of cheaters! Love this song though! Lookin for a man who won't cheat on me! xoxo

[geator]

It's ashame what happened to him but if you read his life story in a way he deserved it. He was having many one nighters with different women while he was married.

[trucking604]

Walter Scott had an absolutely fantastic voice, so Soulful!! RIP Walter!

[damanfrom808]

i sang this song in my teens, i could hit all the notes, cruising in the car, radio blasting singing along Bob Kuban and th Inmen. that Walter Scott's voice...awesome!!!

[darc1362]

Spent lots of great Friday and Saturday nights at Panorama Lanes in Belleville where Bob Kuban and the In Men were regulars. Walter Scott was fantastic as was the whole band. When I moved to San Francisco in 1967, lots of people had heard The Cheater and thought it was very cool. The dance clubs back in the day were the places to be on Friday or Saturday night and there were many to choose from.

[Solarshoji]

There's a guy here in the Portland, Oregon area that does a mobile karaoke business. Says he was in this band and when he sings it, it sure does sound like the record. His professional name is "Rocky Rhodes". Love this song!

[ndhudecz]

great

[MH88881]

Lol to the soul reference. Most songs you here from back in those days are soul regardless of the singer/singers/groups...too bad we can't turn back time...I've always wanted to run a radio station nationwide and play nothing older than 1976...anybody want to go into business???

[Gaylel1]

This song is the truth, giving the political climate of our politicians like Swartzenegger and Wenier...oh. don't forget Vitter...

[Sugaree1956]

@Gaylel1 lol

[TheLadandLass]

memories

being from St Louis very familiar with the group. I used to watch this band perform at Club Imperial and Bruno's Bat Cave before they became nationally known.

great talent and boy could they play the horns in their songs. Bob Kuban eventually was a music teacher at a catholic highschool in St Louis Dubourg.

[GarwinEugeneW]

damn I thought they were black, but this is proof that white folks have soul.

[keithsy75]

@GarwinEugeneW Good music crosses all lines.

[KK872]

@GarwinEugeneW Curtis Mayfield told them the very same thing kind of

[GarwinEugeneW]

@KK872 Did Curtis Mayfield put them on?? didn't know help get them started

[KK872]

@GarwinEugeneW  I can't really say he got them started because I don't know. But I know that they loved Curtis Mayfield and played for him.

[GarwinEugeneW]

@KK872 OK, didn't know that.

[VonNicholas]

Grew up listening to this song and I saw the group when I was 13 years old in St. Louis on The Admiral (boat). It was a long time ago but I remember requesting Louie, Louie and the played it! At our 8th grade graduation party we danced for hours!

[ClassicTV4U]

F*** all of the negative posts---listen to those bad ass horns!!!

[animaven1]

Walter Sr. and Catherine, Walter Scott's parents, were my own parents' best friends. I grew up hearing quite often about the Notheises. Met them just once on a family trip to St. Louis in 1959.

I have a beautiful 4-shot (color studio portrait) of them and my parents together. I'm now PhotoShopping it to look like a painting. Well anyway, I hope Wally's surviving brother reads this and will take a moment to touch base with me.

[andwen66]

this IS talent

[GOllumboy101]

Finally found the song...

[daddygreenjeens]

who said there werent one hit wonders waaay back hahah

[Marydawgs]

You know it the first time you hear it.Something very special about this song.Hearing it after such a long time,I still have the same feeling about it.That's something.I did not know about Walter Scott's death or even that he sang lead on this song.I will say a prayer for him.Thanks Walter for your wonderful gift to the listening public.You are missed.

[hoth260]

My Ex-Wife======= The Cheater

[fntime]

@hoth260 Then you are, of course, The Cheatee!

Your ex-wife is now an Ex-Cheater!

Does she still cheat?

Do you cheat?

Why don't you write a song about it, like Bob Kuban.

You'll make a fortune. Then you can 'date'

'high price' cheaters.

Don't forget, 'life is a bowl of cherries!!!!!

[TheGreenLeaf92]

im Amazed that for once there is almost only serious comments on a video on youtube, Maybe there is hope after all?

[WantYouBackForGood]

I saw Walter's story on Forensic Files a few years ago and fell in love with this song. It's really sad what happened to him, he had the voice of an angel.

[scarianocj]

I know Wally's mom and brother personally. I met his dad one time before he died. His brother is my step-dad. They sometimes talk of him openly but we never ask unless they offer, it's a private matter to them. Surprisingly enough, his brother is more open than you would think...First time I found out it was his brother, we were in my car and the song came on the radio and he said, "That's my brother's song and that's my brother sing it". I know the whole story behind everything.

[SEANFIR]

The REAL tragedy was that Walter Scott only was known after his scandalous death... at the time of this LP and single, it was credited as Bob Kuban and the In-Men... Scott was NEVER credited on the single and only appears in a group photo on the back of the LP. No wonder he took off after one LP with the lack of credit given him for his great vocals. Many folks still think Bob Kuban sang this song, when in fact he was only ever the groups drummer and maybe lead "exploiter". Just my take.

[fgldnglbs]

@SEANFIR And you know, in light of the fact that people knew it was Mark LIndsay in front of Paul Revere and the Raiders, a "featured" note wouldn't have been too much to ask. So Walter Scott exits the band and Bob Kuban and the Inmen exit the charts.

[pcoptometry]

My uncle produced this and most of their music in the '60's and 70's.

[MultiBudboy]

I understand... I heard the record but soon learned there was more behind it. Thank God for the fun, screw on Satan for the pain!

[SpeedTriple59]

What a voice..!!!!

[Gaylel1]

Timely song these days, but I wonder if Walter Scott was still alive, what would he think?

[Gaylel1]

Dedicated to Tony Parker.

[Shenandoah58]

Wow.....Just read that Dennis Wilson drowned in the Pacific Ocean Dec 28, 1983.

Walter Scott died Dec 28, 1983. Dennis drowned....Walter Scott was found floating in water at the bottom of a cistern......

[Shenandoah58]

Wow. I just read something that sent chills up my spine. Walter Scott died....Dec 28 1983. Dennis Wilson from the Beach Boys died....Dec 28, 1983.  May they bost Rest in Peace, sweet angels........

[AuntieN2]

There are so many memories for me with Bob Kuban and the Inmen. I went to several HS dances where they played. Danced on the Admiral while they played several times. (One time ... I still don't know how this happened but ... the dress I was wearing was the same material as the whole band! What are the chances?)

As a RT one of my patients happened to be a girlfriend of his uncle. She was devastated when she was told she had to wear O2 because she thought she'd never dance to BK again. SHEdid

[NateRiley3000]

Walter Scott was a great man and his "Cheater" wife and her "Cheater" boyfriend decide to kill their spouses . Maybe Scott was blinded by love either way he ended up at the bottom of a dirty well to do that to someone boggles the mind I couldn't do it to a dog.

[craig1974]

May Jim Williams rot in hell while Walter Scott smiles from heaven up above!

[Shenandoah58]

@craig1974 Yah, may he roast in hell until the damned place freezes over. He stole a huge talent from us....and murdered his wife as well....what kind of animal does such a thing...........

[craig1974]

If any of you people are looking for the story about Walter Scott's demise search HBO's autopsy show.

[SIGNALSTAT]

what a shame they did to walter scott.hope his wife and her boy friend burn in hell.

[SwingItLikeMoe]

@SIGNALSTAT agree

[fgonzalezcuba2008]

I also thought they were soul brothers but they are blue eyed soul!!! thanks

[HighBridgeBob1]

Great song, blue eyed soul. Did not know the song when it was out, but discovered it later.

[Doublefeature56]

You losers need to quit with the suprize every time a white guy sings......whom do you figure originally wrote it all?

[WantYouBackForGood]

I believe I heard this song because of that show on TruTV, Forensic Files. Too bad what happened to Walter Scott though, just terrible :(

[Riograndeboy]

Thanks for the vid and for the short history. Irony indeed. I have been loving this song since it hit the charts.

[wilhelm1974]

shame this man was killed.....

[MrVampiredog]

@wilhelm1974 WHO KILLED HIM. TELL ME PLEASE.

[OPTIMIZEDd]

@MrVampiredog His wife and nieghbor

[OPTIMIZEDd]

@MrVampiredog His wife and man next door--put him in well in backyard

[NotAzoo]

This song is great, Easy to sing and fun to dance. It is so catchy that you can't get it out of your mind when you hear it. Kudos for Bob Kuban from a Cuban!

[AuntieN2]

Love This Song! Used to go to dances and they'd sing it!

[jinglejuggs69]

I used to pump dimes in the juke box back in the early 60's for hours upon hours and listen to this song... Ad Nauseum.. I will go to my grave declaring this song the greatest "One hit wonder" of all times!

[jinglejuggs69]

I used to pump dimes in a Juke Box in the early 60's for hours upon hours and listen to this song. I still love it! I will go to my grave declaring this song to be the greatest "One-Hit Wonder" of all times

[nanciearyan]

Tough Luck for the Cheater!

[pooley2366]

A twisted wheel fav :)

[nanciearyan]

Tough luck for the cheater! What goes around comes around ;)

[daGloiner]

such a great song

[Nuudles12]

This song is a mazing and it is ashame the way he was murdered back in the day , but that song still sticks with me, and it a known fact to look out for the cheater.

[ramonar11163]

I love this song and it says it all!!! To you cheaters shame on you but what I want to kow is what do you do if you can't get them out of your head after 25 years so heres to my cheater you know who you are xoxoxo

[EarleYetter]

Great! And Bob Kuban is still rocking in St. Louis.

[luciachastain1]

I hadn't heard this song for at least 40 some years, but for some reason remembered every word! Must have been a great song!!

[therealraybaby]

CHEATERS SUCK!

[epgrove1961]

Walter Scott should have listened to his own lyrics. I guess in his case do as i sing not as i do. now he can R.I.P. on the other side of the grass.

[teeembeee]

Warning: Do not listen to this song first thing in the morning............you wont be able to get it out of your head.

Great song!

[Travis0267]

HBO Autopsy !!! Thats all I Have To SAy

[newhotman1001]

A great sound from 1966 featuring the tremendous voice of Walter Scott. After all of these years, I can't figure out why somebody would have to kill an innocent person. If you don't want to be with a person anymore, just leave. I am still shaking my head at why he had to die. RIP Walter and you would be happy at how people still love your song.

[gingerbread1231]

One of the classiest songs ever! Thanks for the posting.

[dessert57]

when they made GREAT songs...unlike nowadays :( all those blonde 20 something singers look and sound the same, so lame...

[mart4366]

@gingerbread1231 I just heard Bob and his band play this friday night at the Moohla Shrine Center in St Louis County. The room is great and the dance floor is big. Bob fills the place with swing dancers and freestylers. They rock like the old days and the people love them. Go to his site to see where he will be next.

[videoarchiveman]

great stereo version

[trilogypart3]

Great song. Thanks for posting it.

As for Walter Scott's death, you said it best in your description. Ironic twists of fate don't get any bigger than that.

[XxBisexualCarebearxX]

I am the neice of the trumpet Player on the song the cheater and was very fortunate to be able to grow up with an uncle with such great friends that was so much more than that and yes it was very tragic what happend to Walter Scott. I am so very touched to know the Love and wonderful feelings I share for these people some else shares also! And if anyone wants to offer up a prayer for Dan I would so much enjoy your help! Thanks Carol

[unclefunz]

@XxBisexualCarebearxX

Carol,

We happen to personally know the "trumpet player" on the song, The Cheater, and he DOES NOT have a niece named Carol. We will offer up prayers for Dan, don't pretend to be someone you aren't! UncleFun

[epgrove1961]

@XxBisexualCarebearxX Walter Scott got what was coming to him. You play with fire and you're gonna get burned.

[recordman64]

@epgrove1961: Walter wasn't the one cheating...his WIFE was, and she and her boyfriend killed him and also killed the boyfriend's wife, making that death look like a car accident.

[chupas2526]

@epgrove1961 thats an evil thing to say

[keithsy75]

@XxBisexualCarebearxX You certainly were. I am a tenor sax player. I always looked up to men like your uncle. MEN made MUSIC in those days. I will pray for them in public and private devotions. My late godfathers used to get on the dance floor and carry on to this song.

[hotrodjohn71]

thanks for posting this.

[74sodapop]

Awesome.The drum fills.One of the great records ever made.
