He was 67. The group (originally the Playmates but re-named after the Buick Riviera) was formed at South Bend Central High School during the height of the military draft and Marty decided to join the Marines shortly after recording "California Sun" in nearby Chicago. He could only listen to his radio as the song went to #5 in 1964, thanks to exposure from DJ Art Roberts on WLS-AM in Chicago. "I was in Vietnam, and I kept hearing 'California Sun' on Armed Forces Radio," he said in a 1999 interview with Bob Greene. "'Out there havin' fun in the warm California sun'? Try the warm Vietnam sun." It was followed by three other tunes which never broke the top 90 in Billboard but were big hits in Chicago (their manager was Chicago promoter and label owner Howard Bedno and the B-side of "California Sun" was named "HB Goosestep" in his honor.) Within two years, however, the rest of the group called it quits, as well. Marty went on to play in a group called Wildcat before taking a job at Bendix / Allied Signal and managing a furniture store.<br />Tying into your recent articles, this points out again the power of WLS ... and their willingness not to "play it safe".<br />-- Ron SmithJuliushttps://www.facebook.com/objectifdingo/?ref=bookmarksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15698204.post-7773768707528785312016-06-09T15:59:55.949+02:002016-06-09T15:59:55.949+02:00ah ben ça fait du bien quelque chose de frais avec...ah ben ça fait du bien quelque chose de frais avec un super son de guitare, inconnu au bataillon pour moi, pas étonné que le père brian a voulu la faire aussi, c'est très proche de plusieurs morceaux du lascar recycleur phAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15698204.post-67367769053623638892016-06-09T14:54:27.401+02:002016-06-09T14:54:27.401+02:00Oui, effectivement, pour Brian.
