The Five Canadians

Effective period / Period of releases: 1966

Members: Bill Kaitner, Bruce Svoboda, Louie Siedlecki, Bobby Flores (2), Pat White (8), Doug Ryniker, Raul Pina

A confusing name for this group as they actually hailed from San Antonio, Texas. They had previously been known as The Hangmen (releasing one good single on their own Flo-Pin label in February 1966, ‘I’m Gonna Love You / Goodnight’), and then fell under the influence of local promoter ‘Colonel’ Paul Beckingham. He was of the opinion that the band would be more successful and receive more radio play if people thought they were from further afield than San Antonio, hence the name change and publicity that gave the origins of the outfit as Toronto.
