"Ain't Gonna Lie" by Keith

James Keefer, who chose the stage name Keith, seemed destined for stardom. "Ain't Gonna Lie" marked his chart debut in 1966, but he is best known for his follow-up smash, "98.6," which went all the way to #7. 

Keith scored another top 40 hit in 1967 when "Tell Me To My Face" hit #37. One final appearance on the chart came later that year when "Daylight Saving' Time" stalled at #79.

Keith's budding career was cut short when he was arrested while on tour for dodging the draft. He tried multiple times to mount a comeback after that, but never saw chart action again. Keith also spent time touring as a member of Frank Zappa's band.
