"96 Tears" #1 10/29/1966

One of the best garage rock tunes of the 60's. Question Mark and the Mysterians were Latino guys whose migrant worker families had settled in the Bay City, Michigan area. Lead singer Rudy Martinez legally changed his name to ? when this record took off, thanks to a lot of airplay from CKLW in Windsor, Ontario (Detroit). The song was once called "69 Tears" - yeah, like THAT was going to get played on the radio at the time, so they changed the title.
