The Turfits

About

Fremont, Ohio 1964-8 The Turfits were originally called The American Way, with Gary Reddick on organ, Roger Hilty on drums, Kenny Turner on bass and Bob Peeler on lead guitar. Whitey Gwinup left the Vandaliers July 9, 1966 and took Bob Peeler's place on lead guitar. The Band changed their name at that time to the Other Ones. While playing Club 224 in Tiffin, the Band held a name contest (there was another group out there named the Other Ones) and picked The Turfits as the winner. In 1967 they recorded two songs for Capitol. One was "Losin One", written by Whitey Gwinup. The second song, "If It's Love You Want", written by Gwinup and Harry Kerr. Both were with the Vandaliers at that time. "If It's Love You Want" was originally recorded on September 2, 1965 at Cleveland Recording by The Vandaliers. Gwinup took "If It's Love You Want" with him and recorded a new version with The Turfits.
