“Time of the Season,” “She’s Not There” and “Tell Her No” were outstanding songs from the 60s, and from a music group that was way ahead of its time – could you imagine a rock band nearly 50 years ago calling themselves “The Zombies?”
The Zombies began with keyboardist Rod Argent, Paul Atkinson and Hugh Grundy. After a period of time the three original members were joined by Colin Blunstone and Paul Arnold. Before the boys hit it big, Arnold left the Zombies to enroll into medical school, so Chris White a real catalyst joined the band. The Zombies first break came with winning a beat group competition that was sponsored by the London Evening News.
Two of the original members are still touring with the band, as they continue to reap the harvest of their early 60s journey.
