TATTOOED ON THEIR TONGUES (1996)
by Colin Escott

Escott is a Toronto-based music journalist and critically acclaimed author.  He has written many liner notes for PolyGram, Rhino, MCA, CBS, Bear Family, RCA, Atlantic, Rounder, and Time-Life Music.

The entire first chapter of the book is devoted to Roy Head and the origins of “Treat Her Right,” and includes several of Gene’s recollections on both.

At this time, Treat Her Right was really taking off nationally. It was near the top of the R&B charts, and starting to climb on the pop charts.

Nice picture, Roy!
 

TRAITS PROMO SHEET - (pdf format)

This is the promo sheet that was handed out at that famous R&B Disk Jockey Convention in 1965, when they all thought Roy was black, and didn’t like him when he came on stage...until he started singin’ and dancin’...and then, they changed their minds.

 The promo sheet itself was put together by Brock Entertainment Agency in Houston; just weeks after “Treat Her Right” hit the airwaves. The band members pictured here are the same personnel that played on the original hit version of “THR.”
