about

After the huge success of their 1968 hit “Nobody But Me”, Youngstown’s Human Beinz struggled with the same thing most young bands thrown into stardom do - following up. Their second LP failed to produce a hit, and by the time they returned from their 1969 tour of Japan, it was clear the band wouldn’t continue as it was. Guitarist Ting Markulin remained the torch bearer and began writing new songs with his cousin Steve Markulin, who had recently left Glass Harp to join the new Human Beinz. In 1971 they entered Peppermint Productions in Youngstown to record their new songs, but sadly no labels were interested. They continued writing and occasionally preforming throughout the 70’s and 80’s, and they recorded as well though never released any of it. “Karrie Ann” lives in infamy amongst musicians who were around at the time. Everyone who ever was lucky enough to hear the tape remembers the song 50 years later - a testament to how good this perfect power-pop gem is (only one verse…the rest is the chorus.) This is just the first glimpse into the unshared story of where The Human Beinz went after 1969.
