The Newbeats consist of three young men: Dean,
Mark and Larry.
During their high school days Dean and Mark
played in the school band. Their mother taught
them to play the guitar as kids, and soon they
had mastered all instruments. Upon completion
of high school, they decided to launch their
c.areers in show business.
Larry first met Dean and Mark@when he stepped
from the audience in Shreveport, La. to sing a
number with Dean and Mark's Combo. This was his
first attempt at singing although he came from a
family where every member was musically inclined
The audience response was so great that Dean and
Mark asked Larry to join their combo.
The three some went to Hickory Records with a
tape they had cut in Louisiana. Wesley Rose was
impressed with the boys and immediately rushed
them into a recording session. Their first re-
lease was "Bread And Butter. "
