The Sensations were 12 and 13 year-olds from Middlesboro, Kentucky, a rural town in Ball County, close to the Tennessee border and about 60 miles northeast of Knoxville. Members were: Mark Steele, Lee Cochran, Stephen Moody, Joe Willis and Brown Carr.

They did not record as far as I know, but the article in the Middlesboro Daily News from January, 1965 notes that “Mark has written two of the groups songs: ‘Stay Away from Me’ and ‘I’m in Love.'”

If the group did record or if the members went on to other bands, I would be interested in hearing about it.
