Publicity photos of The Boys from Tacoma, the legendary rock band, the fabulous "Wailers." Pictured left to right are an unidentified man, Buck Ormsby, Richard (Rich) Dangel, original drummer Mike Burk, Mark Marush, an unidentified child and Kent Morrill. The original band members formed while still in high school, a bunch of "white boys playing black music." Their influences were Ray Charles and Northwest black soul performers.

The fabulous "Wailers," legendary rock pioneers from Tacoma. Pictured left to right are Buck Ormsby, Richard (Rich) Dangel, Mike Burk, Mark Marush and Kent Morrill. The hip, cool strains of the Wailers were the sound of the Northwest long before Nirvana and grunge put Seattle on the music map. The Wailers were the original garage band and directly responsible for the sixties rock explosion in the Northwest. Their heavily blues inspired sounds were the weekend favorite of the sixties at the Spanish Castle, a ballroom halfway between Seattle and Tacoma. Their instrumentation was saxophone, keyboard, guitars and drums with the half sung, half shouted lyrics of Rockin' Robin Roberts, the sweet soul sounds of Gail Harris and their own soul revue girl trio The Marshans.
