Not long after 'Gypsy Woman,' the
Beatles came to America and Stanley was forced to make a musical metamorphosis. "It wasn't a gradual change," he pointed out.
"It happened like overnight. It seemed like one weekend we were playing 'Cherry Pie' and 'Johnny B. Goode,' the next we were
playing '19th Nervous Breakdown' and 'Wolly Bully.' All the popular bands grew their hair long and wore Beatles suits. If
they didn't they didn't work. I used to get fan mail on Bourbon Street because people thought I looked like John Lennon (laughs).
I enjoyed the change. I played bass and guitar, and the British sound was based around the guitar."
