ABOUT
The Hombres were a garage rock band with a deadpan humorous streak that became famous during the late 1960s. They are best known for the laid-back, trippy, and mostly-spoken Top 20 smash, "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)" (1967), which features an introduction taken from the 1948 novelty song, "Cigarettes, Whusky, And Wild, Wild Women," by Red Ingle & His Natural Seven, followed by a raspberry.
Formed in Memphis, Tennessee in 1966, the lineup consisted of lead singer/electronic organist B. B. Cunningham, Jr. (d. October 14, 2012), drummer John Will Hunter (d. February 1976), Jerry Lee Masters (bass), and Gary Wayne McEwen (guitar). Cunningham, Hunter, and McEwen were former members of Ronny & The Daytonas touring band. After the success of "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)" (1967), The Hombres released one album of mostly self-penned songs (with contributions from all four band members) and several more singles through 1969 before disbanding that year.
