William Hargis Bowman, Jr. (April 21, 1941 – February 22, 2011),[1] better known by his stage name Beau Dollar, was an American soul vocalist and drummer for King Records.
Beau Dollar & The Dapps were formed in Cincinnati in 1965, where they often played the famous Living Room nightclub.
The band consisted of Bowman, Eddie Setser, Charles Summers, Tim Heding, Ron Geisman, Les Asch, and David Parkinson.
The single "There Was a Time", with "The Rabbit Got the Gun" on the B-side, featured saxophonist Alfred Ellis and it "bubbled under" the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No.
Beau Dollar & The Coins had some success with "Soul Serenade" in 1966 (a cover of the King Curtis 1964 single).
