Indeed they were Americans from Mansfield Ohio.

True,,,,but Sunshine Games never got higher than #63 while Little Bit O'Soul reached #2.

This guy looks like Ziggy Stardust - 1966 style. Nice Super Beatles in the backline.I thought they were Americans - were they Brits?

Music Explosion had another hit 45 called "Sunshine Games", which makes them 2-hit wonders : )

Summer of 67 had so many great songs out, including this. Every local swimming pool,AM radio, and bands playing teen center dances were playing this! Such a cool song! Cool video showing the Vox Super Beatle amps they used. Heard the singer passed on recently. Thank you Music Explosion for a song that will last forever!!!!!
