The Tams
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, October 1971
THE MOST successful of all of this year's re-issues has undoubtedly been The Tams' 'Hey Girl Don't Bother Me', which, prior to being re-released on Probe was the most in-demand oldie of them all, changing hands for high prices on the original ABC label. The Tams are currently in Britain to consolidate their success and to get the follow-up, 'What Kind Of Fool Do You Think I Am' off to a good start.
