The California garage band The Leaves only had one hit, "Hey Joe", in 1966. But if there was ever a band that deserved more, it was the Leaves. They were monsters of the West Coast "scene" and even replaced the Byrds as house band at Ciro's in L.A. Jim Pons, lead guitarist and founder, joined the Turtles after the Leaves broke up and later hooked up with Frank Zappa. As it is, their version of Hey Joe was the first, and the song became a rock standard of the time. Today, it's nearly forgotten.
