"The Dark Horsemen truly started in the garage, and the living room, D.W. Roof opened 'The Stable' south of L.C. where they played on weekends when they weren't on the road. When they were on the road 'The Allman Joys' and a few other bands from Fl. and Ga. would fill in. Dave continued with the band while attending F.S.U., I for one believe they may have influencent Jim Morrison, since he was also attending F.S.U during this period.
Sadly this was the only record for them. Mack Lane was killed in a tragic auto accident. Mack Bently died of hepititis from a blood tranfusion, Tom joined the Navy in 1968 during the Vietnam War, played some back up while living near Atlanta in the 70's and 80's, Dave played with The Jades, Seth, and Let's Honk. Dave Roof and Tom Roof now reside in Boiling Springs N.C.
Writen and sang by Mack Lane, Mack Bently (guitar), Tom Roof (keyboards), Dave Roof (drummer and founder) from their 1966 record, flipside 'Girl Stand by Me'; From Lake City, Florida"

This song is just awesome ...

Does anybody know if there are any 45's of this song available? I would like to play it in a 60's club here in SF.

[blacflag]

it shows up on ebay a few times a year, last copy i seen went for around £100, maybe sundazed or someone will get round to a reissue if they are asked....the band would definately be up for it

[stancicm]

hope this 'temporary' will last

[blacflag]

yeah, probably, i noticed the quality of some of the older post starting to drop.

[Ladydreamwvr]

Wow!!! This is my Dad's band! My dad played the guitar. This was the "A" side of the 45 they cut, the B side is awesome too!

[Ladydreamwvr]

I think so, but then, I am very prejudiced! They were a very popular "garage" band, and traveled a circuit of Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina. If I remember correctly, this record was cut in 1966. Unfortunately, Mack Lane died in 1967, and my Dad Mack Bentley died in 1968. Otherwise, I think they would have made a career, as they were all EXTREMELY talented!

Gawd, I would so go back to this time. The music was incredible. The stuff we saw and did. I know it is seen thru a filter of many years but we knew it was the best times of our lives. How did we get it so wrong later?

@Ladydreamwvr

You are a VERY lucky girl.

The daughter of 60's garage band legends.

Awesome!

I love this 45. Respect to your father and his band mates for recording such a crude tune!

[mljansson]

good stuff.....I LOVE it

[Lungomolto]

Blac your channel is one of the coolest ever! thanks 4 all this killer tunes: been listening to garage bands for 25 yrs finally I can listen them watching cool vids...

[rohedron]

blacfag, respect to you for your amazing work with all of these tunes and vids, you've built a beautiful wave...

[ChangeHereNow]

Wow, Big Kudos for the video. I was a teeny bopper, bopping away to these guys in Lake City. Didn't know about the deaths. So sad to hear.

[DEWZER]

Thank you..They should reissue this 45 It's just one of those songs you hear and you have to feel it.

[garagerockermadrid]

songs like this one don't allow me getting tired of 60's garage. And for that i am thankful. Wish my dad had played this, Ladydreamwvr!

[Lamvesp]

Talented? Ill say, this song is as old as i am. I'm afraid i don't listen to much else other than 60's garage and this was a new one me, it's sublime. Sorry to hear about you dad and his fellow band member. one of Rocks "What if's" methinks.

[Lamvesp]

Your dads band WOW!!! They were bloody good.

[xxLillifeexx]

This song is amazing! Can't believe that nobody knows this band!!!
