Regarding: "In 1965 Gary Edwards and Bill Rauth formed Gary Edwards and The Embers which evolved into S.A.G.E."
This should read that John Bozeman joined the Maroons in 1964 and that summer brought Gary Edwards and Joe True (bass) together with Norm Osborne (organ) and Bud Dixon (drums) to fill out the house band for a nightclub called the Palms in Lexington, KY. We called this band Gary Edwards and the Embers which evolved into S.A.G.E. after I left in 1965. I'm guessing Bill Rauth may have been a founding member of S.A.G.E.
Also: Gary Edwards and the Embers had one single in 1964: To Be Loved/If You Don't Come Back, on Jimbo Records.
