The Tams
Be Young, Be Foolish but Happy!
In 1962, producer Bill Lowery agreed to cut one demo of the Tams, "Untie Me". To his surprise, the record gained much regional success allowing him to negotiate a major recording contract with ABC Records. In 1963, their first album with ABC records produced a string of hits, "What Kind Of Fool Do You Think I Am", which reached #6 on Billboard Magazine. "Lied To Your Daddy" and "Hey Girl Don't Bother Me" (gold in Europe in 1971) #40 USA Billboard, "Laugh It Off", and "I've Been Hurt". In 1968, "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy" reached #26 in Billboard Magazine and was The Tams last hit in the USA. In 1992, "There Ain't Nothin' Like Shaggin" reached #3 on the UK Top 30.
Their name was given to them by a former member of the group, Willie James Rutherford, now deceased. He also bought the first outfits for the group, red sweaters and blue tams (o'shanters), that became The Tams trademark. The Tams travel with a five piece band called "Old School" and play around 100 dates a year.
