1964

On their own, The Hawks — under the name The Canadian Squires — release the single “Uh-Uh-Uh” backed with “Leave Me Alone” on the New York-based Ware label. The tracks are produced by R&B pioneer Henry Glover. Although The Hawks never changed their name during this period, the label felt the group should establish their own reputation and distance themselves from being known as “Ronnie Hawkins backup band”, thus dub them The Canadian Squires..
