Here is The American Breed playing their hit "Bend Me, Shape Me". I like the guitars and the drummer faking the horn part at the end. The song has a catchy chorus.

You Better Run was first released by the Young Rascals in 1967 but I haven't been able to find a version of their performance.

Here are The Rondells covering the song in the 1960's:


Pat Benatar also had a hit with the song in 1980:

one more great one from Nuggets:

the Castaways - Liar Liar - I always assumed it was a gal singing those high notes, but no...

You don't see much of their guitars, but that gold Tele (copy?) bass is wild.

plus, another one I like, it's not a one-hit wonder really, but it is the only song they're remembered for:

They're pretty square but the crazy set and double neck gtr caught my eye - any idea what it is?

btw - loved the American Breed clip and their brand new Baldwins!

How bout Del Shannon playing his hit "Runaway" from 1961.
