15 MARCH 1966
Rex Garvin and The Mighty Cravers had a minor hit in 1966 with the fantastically funky floor-filler.'Sock It To 'Em J.B. Part 1'. The 'JB' referred to in this driving Northern Soul song was James Bond, and also James Brown as it was performed in Brown's style. It was covered by British band the Specials on their 1980 album 'More Specials'.
Garvin had been singing and recording without much success since the mid-1950s.
