John Fred & His Playboy Band

John Fred (b. John Fred Gourrier, 8 Might 1941, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA, d. 15 Apr 2005, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA) was a 6 feet 5 inches, blue-eyed soul vocalist who all originally formed John Fred AS WELL AS THE Playboys in 1956. This device made their initial record (‘Shirley’) 2 yrs later with Fatty acids Domino’s support group. Through the early 60s several versions from the Playboys documented for small unbiased record labels such as for example Jewel and N-Joy, and finally became referred to as John Fred And His Playboy Music group. It was not really before end of 1967 that achievement finally was included with the worldwide strike, ‘Judy In Disguise (With Eyeglasses)’. An amusing satire for the Beatles’ ‘Lucy In The Sky With Gemstones’, the solitary defeat off a rival edition by Amboy Dukes. Sadly this intended the Playboy Music group were unfairly regarded as a novelty group, when actually they were a good, well-organized and long-serving device. Fred’s blue-eyed spirit vocals had been most apparent on Agnes British, including a rasping edition of ‘She Shot A Opening In My Spirit’. By the finish from the 60s the music group got split-up, with Fred heading to record with a fresh group and are a maker for RCS in Baton Rouge.
