Before - Them "Gloria":


After - Ray Sharpe & the King Curtis Orchestra (w/Jimi Hendrix) "Help Me Get the Feeling":

Just Because - Them

One of the great bands of the sixties, Them always seem to end up second or third tier for some unknown reason. Read the best & most comprehensive article I've ever seen about them over at Garage Hangover, and watch the fantastic videos for "Gloria" and "Here Comes the Night" (where Van muffs the first line) I found below. Bonus points for anyone who can come up with a good reason for the donkey being in the "Gloria" film.
