759 The Zombies “She’s Not There” 1964

“They were a most unlikely group to reach the success that they did, as none of the members had ever played in a band before. Their story could form the basis for one of those against-all-odds coming-of-age movies, but for real. The band was formed by a group of schoolmates in St. Alban's, a historic market town located about 22 miles north of London... At the time of their formation, Hugh Grundy had never played a drum set. He taught himself the basics at their first rehearsal and learned patterns from listening to records of American R&B groups. Paul Arnold played on a homemade bass. They puzzled through a number of names, including the Mustangs and the Sundowners, finally settling on the Zombies” (David Moskowitz, The 100 Greatest Bands of All Time, 2015).
