Group Members Gone Missing! Were you a part of a vocal group, instrumental group, or other ensemble of the 1950's through the mid 60's? Maybe you are trying to locate a long lost band mate that you were involved with and have lost all contact with them. I have seen that happen quite often with my web site, and the email inquiries I get. On this page, I am going to start a trend and bulletin board of sorts that is devoted strictly to groups that are in search of long lost band mates. Reuniting people has been very enjoyable to me, and I would like to help facilitate it on a larger scale. If you were part of a group and are looking for someone or "ones" that were a part of it, just email me. Include as much information as possible. There is no such thing as too much history. I will post it on the page, and try my best to get google to index it quickly. Then, we can wait for others to see the post. When they do, I will email you with the info, and you can make the contact. Then you can update me with the details of the reunion and I will post that here as well.
So, what's in it for me? Again, the satisfaction of reuniting long lost friends. And who knows? Maybe a new page might appear with another great group that the world needs to know all about! And now, here are the posts. Remember, email me if you are looking for members, or are one of the ones that has officially "Gone Missing"!
| Mickey Hawks and the Night Raiders were on hot rock and roll group from North Carolina. Best known for "Bip Bop Boom", they ripped it up wherever they played. The original group has one member, drummer Bob Matthews, checking in. John Owens has gone missing. See my page on the Night Raiders for more details. The story is NOT over. Seems there were several iterations of the group, and sax player Gary Hartle has checked in looking for later members. Those include
Leroy Butler on drums and Gilbert Poole on organ. Other members may have included
Ronald Coleman and Johnny Auman. Recognize yourself? Email me and let's get you all in touch! |
The Shytones / Hi Tones were from Brooklyn, New York. The original lineup included "Found" members Bill Sangiovanni and Fred Alvarez. Gone Missing are Frank Barrata, Al Scavuzzo, Ben Passanante, and Rich Peluso. Graham Lee True and possibly a couple other guys came later on in the Shytones history. These guys had some great records in the late 50's and early 60's, including "Annette". Check out my page for more information. If you are amongst the missing, email me and I will hook you up. |

The Hunter's IV were from the Corvallis, Oregon area, and made one record in late 1959. "I Treated You Cruel" was a local hit, released on Jim Owens "Bar" label, which due to a screw-up at the pressing plant, became Bare. Unfortunately, there were no more records to follow. Bill Clark was the original Rhythm/bass guitarist, but has not been heard from since 1962. That is when the group leader, Dwight Hunter, last had contact with him. If you are Bill Clark (bottom left in the picture) or know where he is, let me know, and I can put this piece of the puzzle together. |
