The Turks released several 45's on the P.D.B. label that included:
111-112 Dianne - Baja
112-114 Hide Away - Wipeout
211-212 Love Can Never Hurt You (Just Break Your Heart) - It's So Good
Other than the "R. Snodgrass" as the writer, I have no other leads on these guys! Jason@Indiana45's once told me that the "Young Turks" on the Dash label (Chicago) was the same group. at this point I don't know!
I'll add Diane and Baja when I find that 45, I have it somewhere in this mess!
My StepFather wrote Diane and Hidaway (Charles Lawrence)I was alsways told that the Young Turks were a diffrent band, The record was done in Tenn.
ReplyDeleteThere was a Randy Snodgrass who was a member of the "Roadrunner" band from Henderson, KY. Might be the same as the writer of the song.
ReplyDeleteI was in the group Silly Putty. The some of the members were: Zen Cymbala, Terry Rutledge, and Bruce McPherson. We played up against the Turks on several gigs. They always made you bring your A game. They were a great band. The drummer was Mark Standrig. I think he is a dentist in Evansville. His dad (also a dentist) was the manager and friend to all the other bands in town.....Zen Cymbala (NBC Universal Television Networks- Chicago)
ReplyDeleteI am the first son of the late B. Williams from the 'ROADRUNNERS'.... I need to talk....asap

ReplyDeleteI saw the Turks at the Mt. Carmel, Illinois ‘pool party’ in 1968.
ReplyDeleteThe Turks played at Herrin Illinois Teen Town which was managed by a woman named Micky Jordan. She booked them many times to play at Herrin Teen Town always crowded.
ReplyDeleteRandy Snodgrass was a very talented man and my grandpa. He taught me everything I know today and I thank God that he made me his grandson. The world just lost a star and I’m heartbroken. Randall Snodgrass passed away Friday, Feb. 4, 2022. We love you Opa.
