“Playboy” #17 4/13/1968

An unlikely one-hit wonder duo, Gene and Debbe. Gene Thomas had a couple of minor regional swamp-pop hits in the early 60’s, trying to make a buck playing at the Elks, the Moose and all those animal clubs in east Texas. Then he met Debbe Nevills (sometimes spelled Neville) - they hit it off professionally and romantically. Shortly after this made the Top 20 they were a couple no more, on and off stage.
