The Zombies

The Zombies are an English rock band, formed in 1961 in St Albans and led by Rod Argent (piano, organ and vocals) and Colin Blunstone (vocals).

The group scored British and American hits in 1964 with "She's Not There". In the US two further singles, "Tell Her No" in 1965 and "Time of the Season" in 1969, were also successful. Their 1968 album Odessey and Oracle is ranked number 100 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

History

1961–1964

Three members of the group, Rod Argent, Paul Atkinson and Hugh Grundy, first came together to jam in Easter 1961 in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. Argent wanted to form a band and initially asked his elder cousin Jim Rodford to join. Rodford was in successful local band The Bluetones at the time so declined, but offered to help Argent (Rodford would later join in 2004 when the band reformed). Colin Blunstone and Paul Arnold joined the other three to form the band in early 1961 while all five members were at school.

The Zombies (album)

The Zombies is the American debut LP by The Zombies, released in January 1965.

After the double-sided hit single "She's Not There" b/w "You Make Me Feel Good" reached #2 on the U.S. charts in the fall of 1964, Parrot Records quickly released this LP in 1965 (PA 61001). The dozen tracks were taken from material the Zombies cut for their UK debut album, Begin Here. Also included are "It's Alright With Me" and "Sometimes" from their self-titled EP.

    Time Of The Season

    by: The Zombies

    It's the Time Of the Season.
    When love runs high.
    And this time, give it to me easy.
    And let me try with pleasured hands.
    To take you in the sun to (promised lands).
    To show you every one. It's the time of
    the season for loving.
    What's your name? Who's your daddy?
    (He rich) Is he rich like me.
    Has he taken, any time.
    (To show) To show you what you need to live.
    Tell it to me slowly (tell me what).
    I really want to know. It's the time of
    the season for loving.
