Beau Dollar & The Coins was a band formed in Cincinnati in 1965, consisting of members Bowman, Eddie Setser, Charles Summers, Tim Heding, Ron Geisman, Les Asch, and David Parkinson. They gained recognition after being discovered by James Brown the same year they were established. Under Brown's guidance, the band recorded their first single, "It's A Gas," although it was ultimately shelved due to Brown's ongoing dispute with King. During this time, they also collaborated with Hank Ballard, who was pursuing a solo career after leaving The Midnighters. In 1967, Beau Dollar & The Coins released two singles, "Bringing Up The Guitar" and "There Was a Time." The latter, featuring saxophonist Alfred Ellis and accompanied by "The Rabbit Got the Gun" on the B-side, managed to bubble under the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 103 in 1968. The band also found some success with their 1966 cover of "Soul Serenade," originally a hit for King Curtis in 1964.
