This is a picture of Terry and the Topics from 1965. Bill, guitar and vocals. Vic, sax and vocals. Dan, bass and vocals. and Terry, drums and
vocals.
We just finished playing the Grandale Show Bar in Detroit and were appearing at the Last Chance lounge in Dearborn.
This band had people standing in line to see and hear them play almost every nite.
After the Last Chance they went to the Dearborn Townhouse`s Side Door and added three more men. Another sax, a trumpet and keyboard.
The Side Door rocked for quite a few years with a lot of musicians coming and going.
Although Terry and Vic have passed away they will not be forgotten.

Tony,
Do you mean the "Last Chance" on Schaefer @ Ford Road in Dearborn?

So glad that you posted that picture. Maybe some of the other band members will help bring back the memories.

George Sheehan was a neighbor of Dick Bossi (Stanford) and was an original member of the Teenbeats. The Teenbeats later became Terry and the Topics, with George takling the name of Terry and the Teenbeats taking the name of the Topics. George (Terry) lived in Las Vegas and was a very succssful karaoke singer in Las Vegas Clubs. He was married to DeAnne, and he remained one of Dick Bossi's closest friends.

Clark,
Good to see you back. Not too many guys around anymore with knowledge of some of the earlier Detroit bands except you and Lee Alan. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the posting Clark...Hope we can gather some other pictures of the band.

Clark,
Thanks a lot for the info.
Tracking down details on many white Detroit
groups has always been difficult ( especially
if you're in Scotland) - it took me thirty four
years to find a line-up for Tim Tam and the
Turn-Ons, so any information you can give us
is much appreciated.

Hi Guys,
I just read the postings for Terry and the Topics. It is such a thrill for me to see so many people that remembered my Dad, (Terry) and Mom (DeAnne). I hope you all keep the lines of communication open. Thank you all for the memories, and sometimes, for me, the new stories!
