The String-A-Longs
The String-A-Longs were an instrumental group from Plainview, Texas, known for their hit single, 'Wheels', produced by Norman Petty on Warwick Records. The band consisted of Richard Stephens and Jimmy Torres alternating lead guitars, Keith McCormack on rhythm guitar, Aubrey de Cordova, bass guitar and Don Allen, drums.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Up Close with Keith McCormack and Aubrey deCordova of the Legendary String-A-Longs )

They began recording in Amarillo, Texas, as the Rock'n Rollers, under their first manager Johnny Voss. Their first single was on the Ven label. In the later fifties they began recording in Clovis, New Mexico, under Norman Petty. They had several releases before recording their big hit 'Wheels'.

"Wheels" was released in 1960 and was a hit in 1961. The tune peaked at #3 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and was the number 8 single of 1961 according to ''Billboard''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Billboard Top 100 - 1961 )〕 The track reached number 8 in the UK Singles Chart. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.
Warwick Records paid few royalties to the band and they declared bankruptcy as they were being sued to avoid paying more. The writers of the song did receive their royalties, including Norman Petty.
There were several cover versions, including by Joe Loss ("Wheels Cha-Cha") and Billy Vaughn.
The String-A-Longs followed up "Wheels" with "Brass Buttons" (U.S. #35), "Should I", and "Replica". In 1961, they moved to Dot Records; they released ''Wide World Hits'' on Atco in 1968.
Keith McCormack, singer, guitarist and songwriter, died of a stroke on April 10, 2015, at age 74.〔http://www.myplainview.com/news/article_ca716bb8-e22c-11e4-95b9-1fa1cb6d4d32.html〕
