Though the Dwight Twilley Band only had one hit (Twilley had another on his own), Twilley and partner Phil Seymour created an enduring and highly memorable brand of power pop that blended Beatlesque pop and Sun rockabilly "slapback" echo. Only a fraction of the band's early output was made available at the time, but these records are highly revered by power pop aficionados.
According to the legend, Dwight Twilley met Phil Seymour in 1967 at a theater in Tulsa, Oklahoma where they had gone to see the Beatles' A Hard Day's Night.
