Zoot Suit/I'm The Face
"Zoot Suit" b/w "I'm the Face" was the first single of the British rock band The High Numbers, later known as The Who.
"Zoot Suit" was written (with music copied from American Soul records - Zoot Suit being a direct lift of the tune of The Dynamics "Misery", while "I'm The Face" was based on Slim Harpo's "Got Love If You Want It") by Peter Meaden, the band's first manager. It was meant for a mod audience, but it failed to chart. The band changed their name back to The Who, found new management and released their own composition "I Can't Explain", which was a top ten hit in the United Kingdom.

Famous quotes containing the words suit and/or face:
“It is cowardly to fly from natural duties and take up those that suit our taste or temperament better; but it is also unwise to take an exaggerated view of personal duties, which shuts out the proper care of the mind and body entrusted to us.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
