Ray Taylor

In 1960, four young men from southwest Hampshire assembled themselves as an R&B band, first taking the name the Stallions and then settling on the name the Lonely Ones in January 1962.  The initial line-up was Jerry Bromley (bass guitar), Tony Good (guitar), Johnny Keeping (vocals), and Chris Warman (drums).  As noted above, Jim Sach joined as rhythm guitar, and Ray Taylor helped out as a second vocalist and roadie.  Gene Anthony was added as a permanent second vocalist in the summer of 1962.  The band went through several drummers between the summer of 1962 and August 1963 and made an appearance on June 17, 1963 on a local TV show called Home Grown.
