    Artist: The Boppers

    Song: Something's Missing

    Album: The Boppers

    Year: 1978

    Label: Fantasy F9562

    Note: Name changed to L.A. Boppers in 1980

    Formed in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

    Group Members:

    Vance 'Mad Dog' Tenort, John 'Iron Lips' Ervin, Dave 'The Groover' Grover, Stan 'Be-Bop' Martin, Bob 'The Professor' Greve, Chuck 'The German' Brooke, Kevin 'Shake Your Booty' Davis, Ed 'Funky Fingers' Luna, Ed 'Funky Thumbs' Reddick and Robert 'The Popper' Griffin.

    The L.A. Boppers began as Side Effect's backup band in Los Angeles, but in the early '80's found limited success on their own.

    The L.A. Boppers were originally formed by Augie Johnson.

    Originally just known as the Boppers for their first Fantasy outing in 1978 (including 'Somethings Missing'), they recorded, additionally, for both Mercury and MCA from 1980 until 1982.

    1980 saw the release of 'The L.A. Boppers', following a band name change, which included the popular 'Watching Life'.

    The album enjoyed the vocal input of Miki Howard.

    There followed 'Bop Time' in 1981 and 'Make Mine Bop' in 1982.

    They enjoyed one Top 30 R & B single, "Is This The Best (Bop-Doo-Wah)," in 1980.

    Vance Tenorts distinctive vocals have been absent from the music scene since 1982, apart from a brief stint on backing vocals for Yasuko Agawa on her 'Gravy' LP in 1984.

    Vance sung background vocals on the track 'L.A. Nights'.

    He is currently working for Ford Cosworth Racing and is still producing and writing music.

    Vance has recently played with the Beastie Boys.
