I got this note from Bob Matula on 8/14/11:
The Impacts existed from 1964 to about 1970. All of the guys were from south St Louis and the singers were from central city
This band won the local contest "Search 66" ( downtown St Louis ) and went to the nationals at Navy Pier in Chicago (2nd Place)
The Impact singers recorded "Jerkin' in Your Seat" in about 1967. I believe it went to 22 on the KATZ music charts.
...and here's that Great Impacts
record:
Jerkin' in your Seat
Here's the KATZ chart with The Impacts
at #22
Here's a rough live recording of The Impacts at a teen dance:
Ride Captain Ride/Magic Carpet Ride
If you have any info about, or photos or recordings of this band PLEASE email me at: greg@dejawho.com
Thanks to Bob Matula and Tim Stouse
