Will Hammond (2)

Will Hammond was the impresario of the teen scene in Greenville, South Carolina in the 1960's. He broke into it with his friend Ward Burton in the band The Uptowners. Their First was release was "If’n". They Also recorded As The Snowmen, having another minor "Garbage Man". The record was re-released, covered, sold around the business to the highest bidder including Major Bill Smith and to Morris Levy of Roulette. Between all the labels the song was released alternately Under The Titles "Garbage Man", "The Trashman", and "My Girl Left Me". It got even more mileage for Hammond when it was covered by Muddy Waters. In 1965 Will started releasing on his own label Panther Records (8).
