  • The Poets waren eine schottische Band in den 60er Jahren. Was die Gruppe von den zahlreichen anderen Bands dieser Ära unterschied, war die Tatsache, dass sie keine Coverversionen von bereits bekannten Songs aufnahmen, sondern gleich von Anfang an ihre eigenen Lieder schrieben. 1964 kamen sie bei Andrew Oldham, dem Manager der Rolling Stones, unter Vertrag und veröffentlichten ihre erste Single, "Now We're Thru". Obwohl diese auf Platz 30 der UK-Charts landete, blieb ein weiterer kommerzieller Erfolg aus.

Their cover version of "Baby Don't You Do It", was produced by Immediate in-house record producer, Paul Raven (Gary Glitter). Musically the band's style contained elements of both the hard R&B of the early Small Faces (both bands would cover "Baby Don't You Do It") and The Action along with the more melodic sounds of The Kinks, The Searchers and the later period Small Faces. Visually they sported an Edwardian look similar to the early Kinks with matching velvet jackets, ruffled shirts, tight pants, Beatle Boots and shag haircuts. Their singles, while much praised, were not chart successes outside Scotland and no full album was completed. Some of their singles are on various compilation albums, including the Nuggets II box set on Rhino Records (one song) and The Immediate Records Story (four songs) on Charly Records. One of their tracks "That's The Way It's Got To Be" was on the soundtrack for the films Factory Girl and Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster. Their former member, Hume Paton, died on 30 April 2011, from a heart attack in Grenada, at the age of 66. Also their former member, Alan Weir, died on 9th June 2010 from cancer in Cambridge at the age of 66. Both band members are greatly missed.
