The Vagrants "Oh Those Eyes"

Before Mountain would kick out their huge hit "Mississippi Queen,"Leslie Weinstein aka Leslie West played lead guitar in this great Long Island garage band, The Vagrants. The Vagrants made a go of it with their cover of Otis Redding's "Respect" only to be out-shined by Aretha Franklin's cover of the same song a couple of months later.

This video for The Vagrants' "Oh Those Eyes" may be from the beach film "Disk-o-Tek Holiday." It's definitely a sweet little piece of rock and roll history...
