The Beau Brummels

The Beau Brummels, formed in 1964 in San Francisco, CA, are said by some to be the first folk-rock band. Known mostly for their hits "Just a Little", "Laugh, Laugh" and "You Tell Me Why", they were America's first response to the British Invasion, and were often mistaken for an English band because of their sound. After suffering numerous career blunders and the loss of guitarist (and primary songwriter) Ron Elliott, whose diabetes made it impossible for him to tour with the group, they disbanded in the late '60s.
