Richard and the Young Lions had a regional hit called ‘Open Up Your Door’ back in 1966 that only peaked at #99 for one week on the national charts. A combination of bad luck, a complete overhaul of members, and ineffective management caused a song that had the potential to be great to waffle in mediocre-dom.. Eventually the band faded away.Check out there way cool documentery by James Hannon, on there almost rise to superstardom.
