Thanks FRL for calling this to my attention. Its easy to forget they were at one time nominated, nearly 10 years ago. I wasn't that familiar with their music, except maybe their 2 big songs. By the way, I agree with the above comments about the similarities of 'She's About a Mover' and 'She's a Woman'. 'Mendocino' is truly an underrated song.

I'm not really sure how historic this band is, despite their modest success. Maybe they opened doors for tex-mex rockers, who knows. I just visited their FB page and they are starting a petition to get themselves in the Hall of Fame. Its a shame that Sahm died young back in the 90s. He would be glad to know there are still people who appreciate his music, hopefully the RRHOF being one of them.

It’s possible Doug Sahm will receive a nomination (and induction) as he is one of those well respected, influential and significant musicians in rock, and particularly the Tex-Mex genre that really deserves more recognition in the Rock HOF.
The window is narrowing however.
Could happen.

The Sir Douglas Quintet's first single was released in 1965, making them eligible since the 1991 ceremony.

Good band but a marginal hall of fame worthy candidate.
