Time Won't Let Me (The Outsiders)

8 MARCH 1966


Cleveland garage band The Outsiders' debut single 'Time Won't Let Me' was climbing up the US Billboard charts on its way to an eventual #5 spot. This proved to be their biggest success and after four top 40 hits in the US in 1966 they never broke the top 100 again.

They never had any chart success in the UK.

The Outsiders were actually a very solid live act who had played together since as an R&B combo since 1958 (as the Starfires).
