“Nothing Succeeds Like Success” #62 4/25/1970

The final chart record from Bill Deal and the Rhondels. Their style garnered them a few national hits, but after this the group went back to the Carolina beach music circuit. The band had a gig in Richmond, VA in 1979 when their guitarist was shot and killed by a man who also sexually assaulted the dude’s wife. Bill soon got out of the business.
