Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods, The Fleetwoods and The Beta Band: Three Generations of Top Teen Bands


 Here are first from the 70's three albums and youtube video's:  Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods - Special Someone LP 72 w st LP 73 w Farther On LP 76 and I packed it full of videos from youtube and teen magazine articles from ebay sellers.  Here's a short video:


The second band is from the 50's/60's is The Fleetwoods - Greatest Hits LP 62 w Before & After LP 64


And finally, from the 90's/00's is The Beta Band!  I had an old CDr of the first two EP's and one extra song that I couldn't find the title to so left as 'unknown' if anyone knows please say in the comments.  I lump them into teen because they were huge on our RADIO K weekly top 7 and played all the time when their 3 EP's CD came out in 1998 and found a 2025 video so was excited they are still going:  Post is following for them:  The Beta Band - The Three E.P.'s CD 98 w st CD 99 w Double Album 2CD 99 w Hot Shots II CD 01 w Heroes To Zeros CD 04 w The Best Of CD 05 (13 live tracks 11-29-04) and finally extra youtube songs I found and the mp4 Live KEXP Studio 10-13-25 where they do five songs from early days (230 mb and limit at blogger is 100 mb videos).  Their songs have stuck with me all these years so very glad to see them and to see community radio spread in U.K....even have similar location on the dial to our KFAI community radio 90.3.
