Dick Dale (Richard Anthony Monsour) was a great influence to such
guitarists as Jimi Henderix and Eddie Van Halen due to the speed of
his single-note staccato picking technique.

Herbie and Hal Kalin were known as The Kalin Twins. The duo had
their only top 10 chart hit, “When”. Hal died at 71 on August 24, 2005,
as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident and Herbie
was 72 when he died from a heart attack, July 21, 2006.

This was the group’s third and final #1 hit. It remained on top for three weeks.
