CANDYMEN.

John Rainey Adkins - guitar; Dean Daughtry - keyboards; Bill Gilmore - bass; Rodney Justo - vocals; Bob Nix - drums.
Formed in Alabama. Started life as Roy Orbison's backing band before deciding to go it alone in 1967. They were better under someone else's direction than there own and sank into obscurity. Nix went solo but commercial success eluded him.
