Martin (1937 – August 2, 1987)[1] was a founding member and original bass player for the rock group Sam the Sham, and recorded all their early hits on MGM Records. Martin also co-wrote the group's #1 hit "Wooly Bully" which sold over three million records. After leaving the group in late 1965, he returned to Garland, Texas, a Dallas suburb, where he operated a television and video repair shop, located on Lavon Drive (Highway 78), until his death. A native of Dallas, Texas, Martin started his musical career in 1959 with a band called Tommy & the Tom Toms, which became The Bill Smith Combo in 1960,[1] and recorded several singles for Chess Records. He also worked with Gene Summers, Freddy Fender and Scotty McKay. Martin died in August 1987 from a heart attack, at the age of 50.[1] References1. ^1 2 Thedeadrockstarsclub.com - accessed November 2010 External links
