The Kare Takers | zh

This band was made up of five local high school kids from Youngstown, Ohio. Most of the band’s members were in the tenth grade, or around fifteen years old, when they recorded their first and only single heard below. It was recorded on the WAM record label, which was a local outfit that charged a bargain fee for studio time and getting records pressed.

Backed with the B-Side “My Jane,” this song was released on the WAM label in either 1966 or 1967, with various claims. The lyrics and music were written by George Fecko, but I’m unsure as to whether Fecko was a member of the band, friend of the band, employee for WAM, or random stranger. If my research is accurate, George Fecko was born November 20, 1948 (which makes him a bit older than most members of the band) and passed away in June 1982, at the age of thirty-three. .
