J.B. And The Playboys - Song of the Week

J.B. And The Playboys hailed from Montreal and became a very popular band. They developed their reputation in the early 1960s in the local club scene performing cover versions of Beatles songs, before The Beatles broke in North America. This was due to the fact that the leader of the band, Allan Nichols, had an aunt who lived in England and she sent him all the latest releases. They later signed with RCA Victor Records in Montreal and had several hits including My Delight, Chances, I'm Not Satisfied, Summer Love and others.

I found this clip of some rare footage of J.B. And The Playboys in concert performing Leave My Woman Alone. It's our Song of the Week. Enjoy this rare video clip.
