The Bobby
Fuller Four was one of the best American rock and roll bands from the early to
mid-Sixties-a time when good rave-up rock and roll was in short supply. The
band formed in Baytown , Texas , in 1961, with Bobby Fuller on guitar
and lead vocals. Fuller’s brother Randy served as the band’s bassist.
The band
started its recording career as a surf rock combo and had the song, “King of the
Beach” as its first single. The band found its sound with the fine hit single, “Let
Her Dance” in 1965. The band’s next single, “I Fought the Law,” was an instant
classic and stands today as one of the all-time greatest rock and roll
singles.
Both of the
aforementioned hit singles can be found on the album, “I Fought the Law”
(1966). This album and a number of compilation albums are recommended.
Randy Fuller tried to continue the band after Bobby’s death, but ultimately failed.
