John Lee Hooker's song "No One Told Me", which apparently inspired Argent to write the lyrics of "She's Not There"...the title phrase alone particularly sticking with Argent.

A recent, not completely accurate (nor even internally consistent) 2-part video 
documentary tracing the Zombies' career, but still useful and enjoyable for the most part:

  1. Loved SHE"S NOT THERE. But haven't heard most of these covers.

  2. Well, Patti, that's why they're gathered...they struck me as good or engaging enough to interest those who loved the original. Of course, the Santana and (perhaps unfortunately to some extent) the Vanilla Fudge covers are or once were famous...the others considerably less so, I think.

  3. I'm amused that one of the video posts replicates the error of the band's small label, and credits the song to Chris White, the other primary songwriter in the Zombies.
