ARROYO GRANDE, CA (IFS) -- Internationally renown rock superstar, Merrell Fankhauser is releasing his new autobiography "Calling From A Star" this next month.
From the book "Vinyl Knights" by Kenneth Howard Smith, "Merrell was
eighteen years old at that time, and had been recording up the coast with a
group called the Impacts. They had
recorded this album called "Wipe out", surf music and stuff. The Beatles
had been in the United
States for almost two months now, and the
Beach Boys were right up there with them.
"Wipe Out" by the Surfaris was going to the top of the charts,
and Merrell was telling everyone that he had wrote this song. Well, no one
believed him at all. I just happened to
be shopping at a local Woolworth store, and they had just received a bend full
of cut-out records, and sure enough, there were ten albums from this group the
Impacts on Del-Fi Records, and there was Merrell Wayne Fankhauser's name as big
as life."
