  The Gants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In early 1965, The Gants were overheard by a U.S. tour coordinator for The Animals while playing in a hotel ballroom and were chosen to open for that band's Florida tour.
At this point, The Gants had a professional sound and a repertoire of original material and an even larger repetoire of covers, which were reflected in the choice of sides for their first single: (Bo Diddley's) "Road Runner" backed with (their own) "My Baby Don't Care", released on the Statue label in mid-1965.
The Gants were later disgusted to see the song become a huge hit for The Shadows of Knight.

Gants Hill tube station is a London Underground station in Gants Hill, in the London Borough of Redbridge.
It is underneath Gants Hill roundabout, and accessed via the pedestrian subway under the roundabout.
It is thus almost invisible from ground level; the only visible traces are the London Transport signs at some of the entrances to the subway and (for the sharp-eyed) the ticket office windows on the roundabout.
