Another exhibit in the massive influence DC-bred artists exerted on far better-known British Invasion bands. James Ray's life and career were tragically short, but his first hit single "If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody" found its way to the Beatles' early set lists, and his "I Got My Mind Set On You" was memorably (and lucratively) covered years later by George Harrison.
