GARY LEWIS AND THE PLAYBOYS - The Diamond Ring 7 64 w Everybody Loves A Clown LP 65 w Hits Again LP 66 w (You Don't Have To) Paint Me A Picture LP 67

Well pulling out my Goodwill stash of this great artist a little early for the Al Kooper main post since it was Al's hit song 'The Diamond Ring' that propelled the band into the charts.  However, Al had said he wished a band like The Drifters would have done it better.  I liked these albums but wanting more of the later stuff.  Per Discogs:  Pop rock group discovered performing at Disneyland in 1964 by Snuff Garrett who, with arrangements provided by Leon Russell, produced a string of Top 10 hits throughout the mid 1960's. Members included

Gary Lewis (drummer, lead vocals and the son of actor/comedian Jerry Lewis (3)),

David Walker (guitar),

Allan Ramsey (bass, born, July 27, 1943 – died, November 27, 1985),

David Costell (guitar), and

John West (electronic accordion).
