How Many Tears by The Poor

Artist Biography For The Poor

1. The Poor Were A Pop Band From Denver CO USA Active In The 1960s. This Band Evolved Out Of The Denver-Based Soul Survivors When Allen Kemp Guitar Vocals Pat Shanahan Drums And John Day Keyboards Relocated To L.A. And Hooked Up With Randy Meisner Bass Vocals And Randy Naylor Guitar Keyboards To Form The Poor. It Didn't Take Long Before They Signed With Managers Charlie Green And Brian Stone Who Also Handled Sonny & Cher And The Buffalo Springfield And Issued A Debut Single 'Once Again' B/w 'How Many Tears' On The Loma Label In Late 1966. In The Spring Of 1967 The Group Issued A Second Single On The York Label Which Features An Excellent Version Of Brewer & Shipley's 'Time And Changes' But For This Record It Was Titled 'She's Got The Time She's Got The Changes '. As Good As The Track Is It Only Bubbled Under As A Minor Hit To #133. A Third 45 Followed In May Of '67 Which Includes An Early Version Of 'My Mind Goes High' On The A-Side Which Was Written By Mike Crowley And Mike Clough Who Would Later Release It In Their Band MC2. Unfortunately This Record Didn't Sell That Well Either Prompting Naylor To Split Being Replaced By Veeder Van Dorn Guitar Banjo Harmonica Vocals . A Fourth And Final Record Was Issued On The Decca Label In The Spring Of 1968 But This Too Was A Bust Causing The Band To Finally Call It Quits. Meisner Of Course Went On To Hit It Big In Poco And Then The Eagles While Kemp And Shanahan Later Played In The New Riders Of The Purple Sage. 2. The Poor Are Also An Australian Heavy Metal Band Originally Called The Poor Boys In 1992 The Changed Their Name To The Poor In 1994 When They Discovery A Similar Band With The Same Name. With The Release Of The Album Who Cares In 1994 They Toured The US With The Scorpions And With "Honest" James Young's Uncles Angus Young And Malcolm Young From AC/DC On Their 1996 US Tour. The Band Went Into Hibernation In 1998 But Started Touring Again In 2008 And Released 'Round 1' In 2009.
