The High Numbers -''Zoot Suit''

"Zoot Suit" b/w "I'm the Face" was the first single of the British rock band The Who, who recorded it under the name The High Numbers in an attempt to appeal to a mod audience. "Zoot Suit" was written by Peter Meaden, the band's first manager. The song is a direct copy of "Misery" by the American R&B group The Dynamics, while the b-side, "I'm The Face", is a copy of Slim Harpo's "I Got Love If You Want It." The single was meant for a mod audience, but failed to chart. The band changed their name back to The Who, found new management and released their own composition "I Can't Explain", which was a top ten hit in the United Kingdom.
