However, for a short period in summer 1964, under the management of mod Peter Meaden, they changed their name to The High Numbers, releasing &#8220;Zoot Suit\/I&#8217;m the Face&#8221;, a single aimed at appealing to mod fans. When the single failed to chart, the band reverted to The Who.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>It is a small commercial crime that Valerie Carter has escaped notice of the general public for practically her entire musical career.\u00a0 In the 1970s, she released two stellar albums of sultry pop: the first with a folksy Americana Ronstadt-ian edge; the second, nipping at the heels of the disco era, with a style that presaged the coming of Sade.\u00a0 But Ms. Carter&#8217;s claim to fame has probably been as a singing partner to James Taylor.\u00a0 If you&#8217;ve seen James in concert, chances are that you&#8217;ve heard and seen Valerie right up there on stage with him.\u00a0 Check out her <a title=\"wikipedia: Valerie Carter - credits as backup singer.\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valerie_Carter#Selected_credits\" target=\"_blank\">discography<\/a> as vocalist on other artists&#8217;
