Wendegahl The Warlock - Musik

The Rugbys Was An Americanrock Band From Louisville KY Best Known For Their 1969 U.S. Top 40 Hit "You I". The Band Was Formed In 1965 In Louisville Doing Mostly Covers. As Competition Among Louisville Groups To Write And Record Original Music Increased The Rugbys Released Two Singles In 1968 "Walking The Streets Tonight" Which Was Written By Doug Sahm Of The Sir Douglas Quintet And "Stay With Me" Witten By Steve McNicol. Both Songs Were Released Locally And Played On Louisville Radio Stations. It Was Not Until The Band Decided To Release The B-Side Of "Stay With Me" "You I" Also Written By McNicol Which Then Went To #1 On Local Stations That They Were Signed To Shelby Singleton's Nashville TN Record Label Amazon Records. Amazon Re-Released The Single "You I" In 1969 And The Song Became A National Hit Climbing To # 24 On The Billboard Hot 100 And # 21 In The Cashbox Chart. The Latter Part Of 1969 And All Of 1970 Were Spent Touring The Mid-West And North East Playing On The Same Bill With Artists Like Bob Seger Grand Funk Railroad The James Gang And Many Others. Later That Year The Band Released Their Only Album "Hot Cargo" Which Received Only Mild Success. "Wendegahl The Warlock" Was The Follow-Up Single To "You I" But It Did Not Chart Hot Cargo Would Later Be Released On CD Along With An Album By A Group Named Lazarus On The Same Disc Called "The Rugbys Meet Lazarus". The Band Continued To Perform Live For A While. For Some Time There Were Rumors About The Release Of A Further Album Featuring Previously Unreleased Material That Was Written About The Same Time As "You I" But This Did Not Seem To Happen. read less
