The Victors

The Victors were a mid-1960s Minneapolis garage band noted for including two future members of <a href="spotify:artist:6wvtyGNtNtLlkHONVzOocm">the Litter</a>, Jim Kane (on bass) and Denny Waite (on vocals). <a href="spotify:artist:6futYSDVulYR2PktBjTB5W">Kane</a>'s friend Warren Kendrick recorded five unreleased cover songs with them, eventually issued on the 1993 CD The Scotty Story, which collects 30 Kendrick-produced tracks from several acts. These five tracks were competent covers of British Invasion tunes by <a href="spotify:artist:5BaHqGtf6UAZnHfqdPaTDA">Them</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2lxX1ivRYp26soIavdG9bX">the Yardbirds</a>, as well as a couple of soul songs. They're of interest only as artifacts in <a href="spotify:artist:6wvtyGNtNtLlkHONVzOocm">the Litter</a> story. In 1966, <a href="spotify:artist:6futYSDVulYR2PktBjTB5W">Kane</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2TPyCsRoh2tjeZLTQ2ojlj">Waite</a> would team with a couple of members of another local band, the Tabs, to form <a href="spotify:artist:6wvtyGNtNtLlkHONVzOocm">the Litter</a>, which went on to greater and more original things, with Kendrick still the producer. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
