The bandmembers in the Chantays were high school friends in Orange County, California; they were Bob Spickard, Brian Carman, Bob Welch (not the Bob Welch who joined Fleetwood Mac), Warren Waters, and Rob Marshall.  Spickard and Carman co-wrote “Pipeline”, and it made #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1963 and #16 on the UK charts.
