Formed in 1964, the quintet was fashioned by a Houston-based producer, Huey P. Meaux, and former teenage prodigy, Doug Sahm (b. 6 November 1941, San Antonio, Texas, USA, d. 18 November 1999, Taos, New Mexico, USA). The name, Sir Douglas Quintet, first used on "Sugar Bee" (1964), was fashioned to suggest Anglo credentials in the midst of the British Invasion, but Sahm's southern accent soon belied the attempted deception. Augie Meyers (b. 31 May 1940; organ), Francisco (Frank) Morin (b. 13 August 1946; horns), Harvey Kagan (b. 18 April 1946; bass) and John Perez (b. 8 November 1942; drums) completed the line-up which had an international hit with "She's About A Mover", an infectious blend of Texas pop and the Beatles' "She's A Woman', underscored by Meyers" simple, insistent keyboards. This charming style continued on several further singles and the band's debut album, prematurely entitled The Best Of Sir Douglas Quintet.
