The Human Beinz

American rock band The Human Beinz, from Youngstown, Ohio, formed in 1964 as The Premiers. The original lineup included John Richard "Dick" Belley on vocals and guitar, Joe "Ting" Markulin on vocals and guitar, Mel Pachuta on vocals and bass, and Gary Coates on drums. They changed their name to The Human Beinz in 1966 and recorded covers of songs by Them, The Yardbirds, The Who, and Bob Dylan. In 1967, they signed with Capitol Records, who misspelled their name as The Human Beinz. Their debut single "Nobody But Me" peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1968, leading to the release of their self-titled album Nobody But Me. The band's next notable single was "Turn On Your Love Light", which became a huge hit in Japan. In 1968, Capitol released their second album Evolutions, and they embarked on a tour of Japan before disbanding in March 1969. Their song "Nobody But Me" has been used in various films, television shows, and compilations, including Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2004) and Martin Scorsese's The Departed (2006). The band reunited for performances and recordings in the 2000s, with a new lineup that included Markulin alongside Gene Szegedi, Sal Crisafi, Ed McCarthy, Rick White, and Mike Cerra.
