Career
The band was formed as The Boys in August 1963, in Kentish Town, North West London. After Peter Watson (born 18 October 1941, Romford, Essex) joined them as an additional guitarist in 1965, they changed their name to The Action. The original members were Reg King (lead vocals) (born Reginald King, 5 February 1945, Paddington, West London, died, 8 October 2010, Belvedere, Kent), Alan 'Bam' King (lead guitar, vocals) (born Alan King, 18 September 1945, Muswell Hill, North London), Mike "Ace" Evans (bass guitar, vocals) (born Michael Evans, 10 July 1944, Henley, Berkshire, died 15 January 2010, London) and Roger Powell (drums) (born 4 July 1945, Camden Town, North West London).
Shortly after their formation, they signed to Parlophone with producer George Martin. "Land of a Thousand Dances" b/w "In My Lonely Room" was well received by critics, but sold poorly. None of the Action's singles achieved success in the UK Singles Chart.

Please Please
by: Drive ByWell there's something wrong
I am tired and I am dead
When it's really bad
I can feel it in my heart and in my hands
Please, please help me I need help
Please, please call me I'm not well
I thought that I was ready
I thought I could be trusted by myself
Times running out
I am selfish I am tired
And it's way too late to sit back
And make lists of mistakes
Just so I can make things right
Please cut me down
I've been swinging for so long
Please, please help me I need help
Please, please call me I'm not well
I thought that I was ready
I thought I could be trusted by myself
Please, please help me I need help
Please, please call me I'm not well
I thought that I was ready
I thought I could be trusted by myself
What is my name? What is is called?
Is this is a consequence of a life that I've lived wrong?
What is my name and who did I hurt?
If I could go back and say I'm sorry
You'd be first.
Please, please help me I need help
Please, please call me I'm not well
I thought that I was ready
I thought I could be trusted by myself
Please, please help me I need help
Please, please call me I'm not well
I thought that I was ready
