The Zombies : Best Of The 60's

WHAT'S YOUR NAME ?

WHO'S YOUR DADDY ?...

THE ZOMBIES

Rod Argent,

 Paul Atkinson, 

and

 Hugh Grundy

 first played togethe

r at a jam on 

Easter 1961

 in St Albans, 

Hertfordshire. 

Rod Argent

 wanted to form

 a band and

 initially asked

 his cousin

 Jim Rodford

 to join as a 

bass guitarist. 

Rodford was playing

 in local band 

called

 the Bluetones

 at the time, 

so declined. 

Blunstone

 and 

Paul Arnold 

joined in early 1961, 

while all 

five members

 were still at school.

 After they won a

 local contest, 

they recorded

 a demo 

as their prize. 

Rod Argent's song

 "She's Not There" 

got them a

 recording contract 

with Decca.

She's Not There 

would go on to

 be a worldwide hit,

 with the band 

appearing on shows

 such as

 Top of the Pops 

and

 Hullabaloo,

 among many others. 

Another hit

 by the group was 

Tell Her No.

Blunstone's voice

 was considered one

 of the main factors

 in making

 the Zombies' 

single,

 "She's Not There".

 In 1968,

 the band broke up

 over management issues, 

shortly after completing

 the baroque

 pop classic album

 Odessey and Oracle. 

One of the songs 

from 

Odessey and Oracle, 

Time of the Season, 

would become 

one of the bands

 most acclaimed hits.
