about
The Bobby Fuller Four, sometimes stylized as Bobby Fuller 4, was an American rock and roll band active in the mid-1960s. The group was founded by Bobby Fuller in 1962 in El Paso, Texas, and gained recognition for its recordings under Mustang Records in Hollywood, California. Some of the band's notable songs include "Let Her Dance", "I Fought the Law", and "Love's Made a Fool of You". Bobby Fuller recorded his first single, "You're in Love", in 1961 with a local band called the Embers, achieving a regional hit. In 1962, Fuller formed a new band with his brother Randy Fuller on bass and Gaylord Grimes on drums, recording "Gently My Love" at Norman Petty Recording Studios in Clovis, New Mexico. The band released records through Fuller's independent labels, often credited as either "Bobby Fuller" or "Bobby Fuller and the Fanatics". Additional members included Jim Reese on guitar and Dalton Powell on drums. By 1963, the band sought a major label deal in Hollywood. Although initially overlooked by most labels, Bob Keane of Del-Fi Records showed interest in the group. Fuller and his band continued to release regional hits in El Paso, including a version of "I Fought the Law", originally by the Crickets. In late 1964, Fuller, Randy Fuller, and Jim Reese moved to California to work with Del-Fi Records. Dalton Powell was replaced by DeWayne Quirico for the move due to family commitments. The band appeared as themselves in the 1966 film "The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini", performing
