The Shambrels came from Oneonta, Alabama, about 35 miles northeast of Birmingham. I knew nothing about the group until Jerry Yancy commented below, so I’ve added his info to this post.
Members included:
Bruce Corvin – sax
Danny Sterling – lead guitar
Ronnie Bailey – lead vocals
Bob Gordon – rhythm guitar and vocals
Don Skipper – bass
Danny Bradley – drums
Bob Gordon added these other members, not pictured in the photo:
Larry Coker – keyboard
Dee Decker – drums
“Summer Girl” is the flip of the more pop-oriented “Girl, I’m Glad”. Both songs were written by Bob Gordon.
The Vaughn-Ltd label released at least eight garage 45s that I know of, including good records by the Bassmen and the Rockin’ Rebellions. Most bands on that label were from Birmingham.
The Shambrels were one of the last released on Vaughn-Ltd.
Mr. Bishop, The Shambrels was a group from Oneonta, Alabama. The writer of the songs was Bob Gordon. Here is a list of the band members, in order, and a photo, if I can load it on this site: The Shambrels-Oneonta rock band 1965

I have a color photo of the group and will be glad to post a copy, but I am not sure how.
Need to know how to upload a photo of “The Shambrels”.
Dee Decker on the drums and Larry Coker on keyboard. They are not in the picture you are talking about.
