The Squires - Wonderin' (1965)

[@mousiespanks2379]

This should have been a huge hit. I will go as far as saying this should have topped the Billboard charts!!!!!

[@timothy790110]

Are you joking?

[@pierrek.5092]

sure should have been a huge it...BUT they didn"'t make a pact with the devil...like Beatles, the Stones ............................

[@tomatin6437]

Amazing sound for a unknown "little" band in 1965. This era must have been an explosion of creativity.

[@Crezelltree4261]

It was.The Beatles opened the doors to this musical explosion.

I was too young to understand music but I really enjoy these old classics. Today’s music does not stand up to these old classics.

Those chord changes are amazing...why isn't this famous the world over??

Very good question Ken!

CrestLine Records was a small label, meaning that they had no money to spend for promotion

[@luiscalcano4359]

This could be a enormous hit by today's standards over the nonsensical cacaphonous music played currently in 2022; there are some good tunes out now, though I don't know the names of them. If the young people would be exposed to this type of music they would love it. The reason I say this because I was playing some tunes from the squires, Chocolate WatchBand , Kinks , Count.5 , Beattles, 13th Floor Elevators , Doors etc: and they were amazed that they had missed this music of that era, especially the early garage, punk, psych tunes , like The Seeds .

[@joegongora2200]

Perhaps it didn't receive airplay or if it did maybe it wasn't enough. I do agree this song should've been a hit. The Music industry is very ridged with its cutthroat practices.

[@Ted_Selke]

I was wonderin' if this would be Neil's song I'm Wonderin'. There were a lot of bands called the Squires for some reason, including the one that did Going All the Way. I have a 45 by The Band when they were called The Canadian Squires.

[@shelleyganz9095]

How great can a record be? This GREAT!!

[@joegongora2200]

Perhaps the record company didn't promote the song or gave any airplay. That's downright sad because I agree this particular song should've been a hit. That's the music industry for you they decided what is played or perhaps they decided it wasn't worthy to be released. Whatever happened they weren't given a chance at the big time. It's a great song and you like listening to great music. This song is Far-Out and Keep Rockin my friend!!!

[@DaveT62]

How was this NOT a huge hit???

[@MrBoblinka]

+DaveT62 Maybe because of distribution problems of the record file

[@matejfucek7981]

Because this song as well as a lot of others from the same level obscurity didn't really bring anything new. This type of tune can be heard in 85% of the bands playing at the time. It was those who inovated that made it big.

[@thomassmith5860]

I believe bands had to explore their creative abilities and be innovative to separate them from the rest of the pack in order to make it big but then again a little luck goes a long way with being talented
