Best answers can be wrong. So..?

I don't mind telling you that Bobcatt99 was when he

guessed, "The Same Old Song"; and Steppenwolf

is incorrect too.

So, here's the question again--and this, time... with

one additional clue.

A group that established themselves in '65 released

their first hit the following year. The song was not just

"the same old" song--nor was any member of this

group black. The title of the 1st hit, though, might've

suggested that it was a bore.

Now, name the group, and you'll get not just one...not

just two... but 12 points! (And, if you correctly guess

the group's original name, 5 stars.)

Oh, and... again, they were established in the USA.

But the two names they had suggested otherwise.

Good luck. No one's been even close to correct yet.
