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 devoted local fanbase, covering songs by artists such as Them, The Yardbirds, The Who, and Bob Dylan. The band released a version of “The Pied Piper,” which 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 recorded by the Isley Brothers, which peaked at #8 in January 1968. An album titled Evolutions followed. Their next single, “Turn On Your Love Light,” peaked at #80 in the US but reached #1 in Japan for six weeks, leading to a tour. The B-side of this single was “It’s Fun To Be Clean,” 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 soon after. In 2004, Quentin Tarantino featured “Nobody But Me” in the soundtrack for his film Kill Bill: Vol. 1, and the song appeared on two compilation CDs. It was also included
