I got this note from William Ruzicka:

Hello Greg -

I found no reference in Wikipedia for the Rhythm Masters, searched for it generally and found your site. At 77 I often begin thinking whether I remember correctly or not, but I’m sure I remember that Bob & the RHYTHM MASTERS played at our senior dance at DeAndreas Catholic High School in 1961. (His ride was a very cool 1957 Plymouth Fury two-tone purple and cream!) All of us who graduated and began college at the newly established University of Missouri @ St Louis knew the band’s original name, and there were several “in-crowds” at UMSL when the the song hit the charts.
