What Kind of Fool - 1 R& B, 6 Top 40 1963 - This was The Tams first national hit record, bringing them into the households of millions through a tremendous amount of airplay. One of the most overlooked of 1960s soul groups, the Tams - led by Joe Pope's gravel-voiced lead vocals - are long overdue for a reappraisal. From their first hit, the Joe South-penned Untie Me from 1962, through the impossibly infectious pop-soul of 1964's Hey Girl Don't Bother Me and 1968's amazingly wise Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy, the Tams have a stellar track record.

With hits including What Kind of Fool , Hey Girl Dont Bother Me, and Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy, the beloved staples of beach music burst onto the music scene in late 1962 with their top 15 R&B hit Untie Me, composed by the late, great Joe South. The Tams were a criminally underrated soul quintet during their 1960s heyday. Notching their fledgling hits on the independent Arlen Records of Philadelphia, the Tams were quickly picked up by ABC-Paramount, where they remained throughout the tumultuous decade
