 ROD ARGENT, PAUL ATKINSON, COLIN BLUNSTONE, HUGH GRUNDY, PAUL ARNOLD

Aside from the Beatles and perhaps the Beach Boys, no mid-'60s rock group wrote melodies 

as gorgeous as those of the Zombies. Dominated by Colin Blunstone's breathy vocals, choral backup harmonies, 

and Rod Argent's shining jazz- and classical-influenced organ and piano, 

the band sounded utterly unique for their era. Indeed, their material -- penned by either Argent 

or guitarist Chris White, with unexpected shifts from major to minor keys -- was perhaps 

too adventurous for the singles market. To this day, they're known primarily for their three big hit singles, 

"She's Not There" (1964), "Tell Her No" (1965), and "Time of the Season" (1969). 

Most listeners remain unaware that the group maintained a remarkably high quality of work for several years

 "She's Not There" was an international hit, and the slightly ominous rumble of Argent's electric piano, 

the emphatic lead vocal from Blunstone, and the melodic lift of the harmonies give it a sound 

not quite like anyone else around at the time, while "I Can't Make Up My Mind" and "I Don't Want to Know" 

are similarly well-crafted and thoughtful. "Woman" and "What More Can I Do" are hard-driving R&B 

numbers that allow the group's individual personality to shine through (especially 

in Argent and White's forceful instrumental work), and "I Remember When I Loved Her" 

is a moody and atmospheric piece that anticipates the tone 

of the group's masterful final album Odessey and Oracle...(AllMusic)
