According to the Bread and Butter Songfacts they comprised Larry Henley (singer / songwriter), and brothers Dean and Mark Mathis (instrumentals, backing vocals). Larry Henley is much better known for a later song he co-wrote - The Wind Beneath My Wings.

"Bread and Butter" was the group's first hit. Written by Larry Parks and Jay Turnbow, the 12-bar blues reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1] It sold over one million copies in the U.S.[3][1] Three more singles followed in 1964 and 1965. "Run Baby Run (Back Into My Arms)" reached as high as number 12 that fall, but it was the trio's penultimate chart entry, although they remained with Hickory until 1972.[4] Brief stints at Buddah and Playboy followed before the Newbeats dissolved in 1974

You know something? I remember loving this song as a kid, but could never pin it down because I always assumed it was a Lou Christie (or Del Shannon) song and thus couldn't find it. Pretty nice single from the group that also gave us "Bread and Butter"

It is on YouTube now. I remember when it came out like it was yesterday. It is a catchy song, though "Run Baby Run" is my favorite song by them and, in my opinion, their 'signature song' that they are most remembered for, though some will argue that "Bread and Butter" is.

I have not heard this song since 1965 when it was on the charts. It is sad how some things disappear into eternal obscurity. Does anyone know how to access the Newbeats' song Breakaway. It was their third and, alas, their last single.

Hickory Records began around 1954 by country legends Roy Acuff & Wesley Rose to showcase tunes they were printing at Acuff-Rose Publishing. It wasn't until Hickory signed country-turned-pop singer Sue Thompson that they had success on the Billboard Hot 100. By 1964 more artists were added to Hickory's pop roster, like the Newbeats. Two of the trio's members had fame earlier as Dean & Marc, who recorded "Tell Him No". And Newbeat member Larry Henley would write "Wind Beneath My Wings".

This and Fontella Bass' "Rescue Me" -- Irresistible driving beats. Both songs similar but distinctive nonetheless. Both from 1965 -- a great year for quite a variety of musical sounds, From "Downtown" to "Satisfaction" to "Stop in the Name of Love" to "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" to "Like a Rolling Stone" to "Yesterday" to "Can't Help Myself" to "Home of the Brave" to "Lovers' Concerto" to "Make the World Go Away" to "Save Your Heart for Me" to "I Got You Babe" to "You Were on My Mind" to "Mr. Tambourine Man" -- Well, just look it up; you'll see. 54 years ago -WOW... 3/2019
