City of blues! This week, our hosts Game, Fig, and Knob are searching for the Spirit of St. Louis. It's July 8th, 1981, and the Grateful Dead are playing at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, MO. Discussions abound about what makes Big River the best cowboy song, who has the most gold stars, and the OTHER Grateful Dead podcast Knob was on...

Some bands achieve fame, only to find themselves unable to recreate it with their subsequent recordings. They are, of course called, “one hit wonders.” One such band experience happened right here in St. Louis.

In St. Louis, no other one-hit wonder approaches Bob Kuban and the In-Men's “The Cheater.” ——— An eight-piece band formed in 1964 by local drummer Bob Kuban, the In-Men sounded snappier and more sophisticated than most of the countless 1960s Beatles-inspired groups. The band was poised for fame, and in late 1965 at Technisonic Studios, they laid down the track that would launch their pop stardom. Released that October, “The Cheater” told the story of a pride-filled stealer of significant others eventually getting his due. It had vibrant horns, a chorus that lingered in your head for days, and baritone crooner Walter Scott's Elvis-inspired vocals. ——— By the spring of 1966, the Cheater had shot up the Billboard Hot 100 chart to number 12. Bob Kuban and the In-Men landed a national television appearance on American Bandstand that April. The group was suddenly sharing concert stages with acts like Otis Redding and the Turtles, and they even joined the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for a classical performance of “The Cheater” at the Kiel Auditorium. ——— “The Cheater” seemed like the first brick in a tower of hits, but the song's main hook “He's gonna build you up, just to let you down” was about to sound like foreshadowing. In the spring of 1966, the group's follow-ups, “The Teaser,” and a cover of the Beatles song “Drive My Car,” stalled out at numbers 70 and 93 respectively. They tried releases of “the Batman Theme” and a novelty dance song called “The Pretzel” but with no luck. As quickly as they'd arrived, Bob Kuban and the In-Men fell out of pop music's fickle spotlight. ——— St. Louis never lost its “Cheater fever,” and the band outlived quite a few other famous local institutions. For example, Bob Kuban and the In-Men played at the opening of Busch Memorial Stadium in 1966, and also at the last game played there on October 2, 2005. ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri Historical Society and KDHX. I'm Andrew Wanko and this is 88.1 KDHX St. Louis. ———

“Soul Train” was on TV. Groovy teachers were teaching “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” to the high school English classes. David Bowie stopped by Kiel Auditorium to promote a little album called “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.” Was there a more idyllic time to be a teenager than Creve Coeur in the early 1970s? For Jonathan, the protagonist of James Brandon’s new young adult novel “Ziggy, Stardust & Me,” it isn’t quite that simple. Sure, the music is incredible. But Jonathan is gay. And in St. Louis in 1973, that means intense and even painful therapy.
