The Tams

A “seaside” music favourite, Atlanta’s Tams were one of the popular up-tempo spirit sets of the ’60s, although these were never in a position to break Motown’s pop stranglehold. Joseph Pope’s gravelly voiced prospects were their feature. He was became a member of by his sibling Charles, Robert Smith, Floyd Ashton, and Horace Important. They started on Swan in 1960, after that landed their 1st strike with “Untie Me” for Arlen in 1962. It peaked at quantity 12 around the R&B graphs (quantity 11 pop). They relocated to ABC-Paramount another 12 months, where they continued to be until 1968. They obtained their biggest strike in 1963 with “THE TYPE of Fool (DO YOU CONSIDER I Am).” But many spirit fans respect 1968’s “Become Young, Become Foolish, Be Content” as their greatest hit, though it just reached amount 26 in the R&B graphs.
