The Human Beinz were an American rock band from Youngstown, Ohio, originally named The Human Beingz. The original lineup included Dick Belly (vocals, guitar), Joe Markulin (guitar), Mel Pachuta (bass), and Mike Tatman (drums). They began their professional career with a strong local following, performing covers of songs by Them, The Yardbirds, The Who, and Bob Dylan. The band is notable for their version of “The Pied Piper,” originally recorded by The Changin' Times, which later became a #1 hit for Crispian St. Peters. In 1967, they signed to a label and released their only Billboard Top 40 hit, “Nobody but Me,” originally by the Isley Brothers, which peaked at #8 in January 1968. This success was followed by the album "Evolutions." Their next single, “Turn On Your Love Light,” did not perform well in the US, peaking at #80, but became a #1 hit in Japan for six weeks. The B-side, “It’s Fun To Be Clean,” was reminiscent of the Beatles' "Penny Lane." Later in 1968, they released “Hold on Baby” exclusively in Japan, where it also topped the charts. Despite their success in Japan, the Human Beinz disbanded shortly thereafter. In 2004, Quentin Tarantino featured “Nobody But Me” in the soundtrack for "Kill Bill: Vol.
