My Man About Town - Vicky and The Townsmen - 1963

Today, let's visit with The Townsmen. As mentioned in my last post, one of the likely best two young sax players in Birmingham and fellow band member at Banks High School, Durwood Bright joined The Townsmen band helping to make them one of the top teen bands in the Birmingham area.
The first song posted here is the Townsmen's single "It's True". Another Birmingham band in the early 60s was Vicky and the Spades. After Vicky and the Spades broke up, Vicky joined The Townsmen in 1963 or 1964. They continued to play local dances and played for the 1964 Banks High School Senior Prom. They recorded a single with Vicky titled "My Man About Town" which is our second song for this post. Unfortunately, I do not know Vicky's last name so if someone knows Vicky, please tell us about her in the comment section. And, I think the dance photo in this video is from the 1964 Banks High School Senior Prom.
