New Orleans Pelicans: Does Alvin Gentry Listen to The Gentrys?

Before Memphis, Tennessee was home to any Grizzlies named Mike, Marc or Zach – it was home to The Gentrys. They were an American Rock and Roll band, and mildly famous in the 60’s & 70’s. They were also largely a one hit wonder (sorry if you disagree).

“Uhh…” (this is you speaking to me, thinking I’m crazy for keeping up with obscure classic rock stories)

That one hit wonder was called Keep on Dancing. It reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1965.

“OK.”

Keep on Dancing was notable because it was one short recording repeated and stretched to two minutes.
