In 1962, three friends from North Texas formed the nucleus of a band called The Naturals. A fourth player was added to the lineup in early 1963. Jim Rutledge, Dean Parks, Nick Taylor and Ed Grundy now made up the Naturals. They toured the North Texas circuit playing at battle of the bands, sock hops, armories and school dances. The band played original songs as well as songs by The Ventures, Paul Revere and The Raiders, and The Five Americans. While still in high school they signed with Rebel Records and released "Hey Girl/I Want You" in 1965. Due to popular request on the local radio waves they were asked to be the opening act for The Beach Boys, Paul Revere and The Raiders, The Five Americans and others. In 1965 The Naturals changed their name to the Crowd +1 . The second record released by the group, the first as Crowd +1, was on the Box Record label titled "Mary Ann Regrets/Whatcha Tryin To Do To Me" in 1965. By the end of 1965 the group had made a deal and signed with Capitol Records. This produced two more records "Don't Hold Back/Try" and "Circles/Most Peculiar Things". Even though the songs received fair airtime, without enourmous sales figures, the group was dropped from the label. The band continued to play the North Texas circuit. In 1967 Dean Parks, being a highly accomplished graduate of the North Texas State 1 o'clock Lab Band, was offered a job as the musical director for the new Sonny & Cher variety show. At this point they added Lee Pickens as lead guitarist and Steve Hill as keyboardist. They continued performing as "the Crowd +1" playing original music and music written by local songwriter and friend John Nitzinger. Early in 1969, the Crowd +1 auditioned for Grand Funk manager Terry Knight at Capitol Records. The Crowd +1 was renamed by Knight and along with the addition of Rick Cobb as drummer went on to tour the country with some of the greatest names in rock-n-roll history at some of the greatest venues and pop festivals of our time.
