When will the Hall of Fame ever get its act together and induct these guys?

[Jaybird1103]

Rest in Peace Chris Curtis and Tony Jackson.

great harmonies, and great control of singing and playing at the same time and that with swaying mikes, and probably little if no stage monitors.

this band should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

@glaetze We were sooo robbed of their music here in the US. They were on Sullivan in April 1964 which is when I first saw them, after listening to them out of Canada on CKLW in the wee hours. The Sullivan performance is here on YT. They performed Needles & Pins, but the audio quality was bad because it was live and John's amplifier failed. At least I think it's hear, unless the Sullivan people have yanked it. The Searchers did an amazing performance in spite of it.
