The Newbeats
The Newbeats were a 1960s American pop vocal trio, led by Larry Henley. They are best remembered for their hits "Bread and Butter" and "Run, Baby Run".
The group's members were:
As children, brothers Dean and Mark Mathis were taught the guitar by their mother. They soon mastered other musical instruments – piano, bass guitar, and drums. They both played in a band at Bremen High School, Georgia, and decided on a career in the music industry upon leaving education. Dean joined Paul Howard's Western swing band in 1956 as pianist, then joined Dale Hawkins' band, where his brother soon joined as a bass player. They stayed with the band for two years.
The Mathis brothers recorded together as Dean & Marc for the Chess record label. In 1959, their single "Tell Him No" entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at no. 42 that year.
They started their own eight-piece band and played in their hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana. It was there that they met Larry Henley, who auditioned for the band. A parting of the ways ensued when Henley tried his luck as a solo artist, and the brothers worked as a duo, both recording independently for Wesley Rose.
After about 18 months they jointly made a demo of a song titled "Bread and Butter", sent it to Hickory Records, and were asked to record the track.
"Bread and Butter" was the group's first hit. Written by Larry Parks and Jay Turnbow, the record reached no. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It sold over one million copies in the U.S. Three more singles followed in 1964 and in 1965. "Run, Baby Run (Back Into My Arms)" reached as high as no. 12 the fall of 1965, but that would be the trio's penultimate chart entry, although they remained with Hickory Records until 1972. Brief stints at Buddah and Playboy followed before the group dissolved in 1974.
Several of their singles were rediscovered by the Northern soul movement in the early 1970s. "Run, Baby Run (Back Into My Arms)" made no. 10 in the UK Singles Chart, (two spots higher than its original U.S. position), while "Don't Turn Me Loose" and "Crying My Heart Out Over You" are popular tracks with the "soul crowd".[citation needed]
