 | Seattle's The Viceroys, not to be confused with The Viceroys on the Bethlehem label, were a mainstay of the early scene. Perhaps more poppy than the usual Northwest sound, they recorded mostly R&B style songs, such as the a-side of this single, "Please Please Please." Their instros were also seldom guitar dominant, favoring organ in the vein of Dave Lewis ("David's Mood," "Little Green Thing," "J.A.J.") Then, there was 1963's "Tiger Shark," which approaches the outskirts of surf. |
