		The fl turban revolution is imbuing the Shi'ite masses in Iran with a new radicalism and mustering this energy against, not the civil, but the religious establishment.

		In early 1956, the Turbans had their second Herald session, at which six songs were recorded: "B-I-N-G-O", "I’m Nobody’s", "It Was A Night Like This", "My Girl Has Gone", "Say Girl", and "All Of My Love".
		The Turbans did have several local hits (which is more than you can say for most groups) and they left us the legacy of "When You Dance".
