Indisputably the greatest Latino rock band of the '60s, Thee Midniters took their inspiration from both the British Invasion sound of the Rolling Stones and the more traditional R&B that they were weaned on in their native Los Angeles. Much of their repertoire featured driving, slightly punkish rock/R&B, yet lead singer Willie Garcia also had a heartbreaking delivery on slow and steamy ballads. They were equally talented at whipping up a storm with uptempo numbers and offering smoldering romantic soul tunes. Their legacy is felt in later popular L.A. Latino rock acts like Los Lobos. ~ Richie Unterberger
