THE FIVE AMERICANS
Five Americans was a 1960s American rock band, most famous for their song, “Western Union”, which reached number five in the U.S. Billboard chart and was their only single to chart in the Top 20. (More from Wikipedia)
Pebbles, Volume 10 is also how I came to find out about the Human Expression, one of several garage rock and psychedelic rock bands that I wrote about in Wikipedia in the pre-UARB days. The album also includes a song by the Ides of March that came out before their hit song, “Vehicle”; as well as an early song by the Five Americans of “Western Union” fame. “Primitive” by the Groupies, one of the best songs on this album was later featured on one of the Born Bad CD’s.
