The Fabulous Flippers were an American soul and rock band, active primarily in the 1960s and 1970s. Known for their beach music and R&B-infused sound, the band was a significant act in the Midwest music scene, particularly in Kansas. Key members included Jerry Tammen, Terry Wierman, and Dennis Fredrick, who contributed to the band's signature sound characterized by horn-driven arrangements and energetic performances. Their most influential work is arguably their cover of "I Don't Want to Cry," which gained substantial regional popularity.
