-'''The Hollywood Persuaders''' were a U.S. rock band, produced by [[Paul Buff]] (who actually played all instruments). A few tracks were released under their name: ''[[Tijuana Surf]]'' and ''[[Grunion Run]]'' (1963), ''Persuasion'' and ''Juarez'' (1964) and two albums, ''Drums A-Go-Go'' (1965) and ''Los Persuaders'' (1965). As Buff's [[Pal Studio]] in [[Cucamonga]] was eventually taken over by [[Frank Zappa]] to become [[Studio Z]], Zappa became more involved with the musicians recording there. <ref>https://www.discogs.com/artist/258012-The-Hollywood-Persuaders</ref> Buff asked Zappa to write a B-side to the band's single ''[[Tijuana Surf]]'', which became ''[[Grunion Run]]''. <ref>https://www.united-mutations.com/h/hollywood_persuaders.htm</ref> ''Tijuana Surf'' was a number one-hit song in [[Mexico]] at the time. Thanks to the royalties on this song, Buff was able to bail Zappa out of jail in March 1965 after he was arrested. <ref>https://www.united-mutations.com/h/hollywood_persuaders.htm</ref>
