Bill Gibbons came out of a garage in Houston, Texas, where he played in bands like The Saints and The Coachmen. In 1966, along with Tom Moore, Don Summers, and Dan Mitchell, they came together as the Moving Sidewalks.
In 1967 , when much of the world had fallen for psychedelics, the band released their most famous track on the Tantara label. It was a high point in their short history, almost as good as when they opened for Jimi Hendrix when he experienced Texas in 1968. Here’s the Moving Sidewalks, with some real elevator nastiness called The 99th Floor!!
When I woke up this morning,
I didn't feel so good
Then my baby told me,
I'll make you feel like you should
So we got on an elevator,
And then we shut the door
Baby, we won't stop,
We won't stop till
We get to the ninety-ninth floor
Next thing that came to me
Came much to my surprise
Then I began to realize
That you were telling me no lies
So come on, come on,
Come on, baby,
Let's do it some more
Said that we won't stop,
We won't stop till
We get to the ninety-ninth floor
Come on, baby...
Come on and treat me right
Let's go to the ninety-ninth floor
And make me feel so right...
