By 1965, the group had decided to add more vocals to its repertory, adding lead singer Sonny Geraci. The Outsiders started life as the Starfires, a hard-working popular local band in Cleveland founded by guitarist/singer Tom King in 1958. But if any two-hit, dance-oriented band from the '60s ever deserved a crack at being voted in, the Outsiders do, simply based on the quality of their work over three years and four albums. Bands with just two big hits ("Time Won't Let Me," "Respectable") and a history mostly confined to AM radio in the '60s don't seem to rate that kind of recognition. Chances are that, despite their having come from Cleveland, OH - and, thus, having a certain home field advantage - the Outsiders will never be considered for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
