The Montanas

The Montanas were an English 1960s and 1970s pop rock band from Wolverhampton, England. Though they never found significant success in their home country, they had one moderate hit in the United States.
The group formed in 1964 and became known for their live shows. Their manager, Roger Allen, had them signed to Pye Records, and some of their early releases for Pye were written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent. In 1966 Terry Rowley joined the group on keyboards, and also worked with the group on composition and arranging. They released two singles in the year, the second, "That's Where Happiness Began" b/w "Goodbye Little Girl", of which became a steady seller in the autumn of 1966 when it received extensive radio play. The band's breakthrough came later in the year when they became the opening act for the Walker Brothers tour across the UK, concluding in November 1966. More singles followed, and the band appeared on radio programmes like ''Easy Beat'' and ''Saturday Club'', and touring expanded to other countries including France, the Netherlands, and Germany. One single in particular, "Ciao Baby" b/w "Anyone There", was released in March 1967, and sold over 10,000 copies in Britain alone. The band re-recorded "Ciao Baby" in 1969.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Montanas )
Their several radio hits in England made little impact on the charts, but "You've Got to Be Loved", which was released on October 13, 1967, reached number 58 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in 1968,〔(Charts ), Allmusic〕 followed by "Run to Me" making it to number 121 on the ''Billboard'' Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles charts, number 41 on ''Cashbox'', and number 33 on ''Record World''. The band, however, was unable to promote the single in the US, so no other national hits followed. Their lineup changed considerably in 1967 and again in 1968, and they continued releasing singles, often written by outside writers, that were more radio-friendly than their live sound. In 1969, the group left the Pye label, and Rowley and vocalist John Jones quit, wanting to perform more original material.〔Roger Dopson, liner notes from the compilation CD〕 The group continued to perform throughout most of the 1970s, though mixing comedy with the music in their performances, and finally broke up in 1978. Bassist Ian Lees later found success as a comedian, and Jake Elcock pursued a career in A&R.
In 1997, Sequel Records issued a 26-track compilation CD, "You've Got To Be Loved (Singles A's & B's)," including ten tracks newly mixed from original multi-tracks.
