Who the hell were "? and the Mysterians"

Who the hell were "? and the Mysterians"

They had a #1 hit single with "96 Tears," but had disappeared from the charts altogether within two years, although they stayed together for decades in one form or another. Amazingly, they are still active. Per the Wikipedia page: "Guitarist Dennis Dean Lack joined the band in 1985, and was Question Mark's main guitarist and music director, and still collaborates on new songs with Question Mark into 2017. Lack has been active in the band off and on for over 13 years; he now resides in Northern Michigan."

Mister ? was actually named Rudy Martinez. The band members were children of migrant farmers who settled in Michigan.
