The Common Few?

The Common Few?, was a local garage band that started in Chanute, KS, in 1964 and played through 1971. The Common Few? was actually the evolution of several earlier incarnations that were short lived, i.e. “The Argonauts,” “The Executers” and “The Slippers.” Notice the similarity to the name of “The Flippers,” the group that so many Midwestern bands tried to emulate. In 1968, The Common Few?” recorded their only single, “Love Makes A Man” which received regional recognition. By September of 1971 and with the Vietnam war in progress, some members entered the service of their country while others graduated from college and moved on. Finally after seven years, the original “Common Few?” came to an end. Members included Bob Crumrine, Jeff Leverenz, Robert Orr Front row, from left: Eddie Ladd, Cliff Wise, Ben Ennis, Darrel Brown.
