SOMETHIN' SMITH & THE REDHEADS

Kurze Story:
Der Sänger, Gitarrist und Banjo-Spieler Somethin' Smith, sein wirklicher Name dürfte Robert "Red" Robinson oder Robertson (gewesen) sein, der Pianist Saul Striks und der Kontrabassist Major Short gründeten in den frühen Fünfzigern ein Trio, dass sie Somethin' Smith and The Skylarks nannten. Die "Feldlerchen" hatten aber nur eine kurze Lebensdauer, weil es von ihnen offenbar schon zuviel gab, und so nannten sie sich bereits ab ihrer zweiten Single "The Redheads" was wunderbar zutraf, da alle drei rothaarig waren.
