*********************************************************
The Human Beinz were American band from Youngstown, Ohio. Originally known as The Human Beingz, the band initially featured John "Dick" Belley (vocals, guitar), Joe "Ting" Markulin (vocals, guitar), Mel Pachuta (vocals, bass) and Gary Coates (drums, later replaced by Mike Tatman.)
The Beinz started in 1964 as The Premiers, launching their professional career to build a local fan base. In 1966, they changed their name to The Human Beingz because they felt their old name did not fit with the feel of the late 1960s. They recorded covers of songs by Them, The Yardbirds, The Who and Bob Dylan. The group was also the first to record a cover of " Gloria" by Them, which became a hit for the Shadows of Knight, and covered "The Pied Piper", which later became a hit for Crispian St. Peters.
The group signed to Capitol Records in 1967 and at that time Capitol misspelled their name, leaving out the "g". The Beingz were told it would be changed on the next release if the debut single did not have any success. In September 1967 " Nobody but Me" was released and became their only Billboard Top 40 hit, which meant that Capitol would not correct the spelling. "Nobody But Me" (first written and recorded by The Isley Brothers) peaked at #8 in January 1968. In Casey Kasem's " Book of Records" category of most repetitive word or phrase in a Hot 100 top 10 hit, the record's two 31-fold repetitions of the word "no" are second only to the two 40-fold and one 50-plus-fold repetitions of the imitative word " dit" in " Westirn Union" by Five Americans. An album, Nobody But Me, followed.
The Beinz' next single, " Turn On Your Love Light," flopped in the United States (peaking at #80), but reached #1 in Japan. " Turn On Your Love Light", originally a hit for Bobby Bland in 1962, was later covered by Jerry Lee Lewis and the Grateful Dead. In 1968, Capitol released a second album, Evolutions. They also released the single, " Hold on Baby", exclusively in Japan, where it also hit the top of the charts. Despite their Japanese success, The Human Beinz broke up in March 1969, but due to contract obligations, had to undertake a tour there.
Their song " Dance On Through" was featured in an episode of The Addams Family.
