Mr. Lucky and the Gamblers were an American garage rock band that originated from Newport, Oregon.
The band was founded by Mike Parker (Mr. Lucky) and 'Bud' Garrison in 1964 and soon became one of the most popular groups in the Pacific Northwest, [citation needed] with fans throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Northern California and Western Canada.
"Take a Look at Me", which received considerable air time on local radio stations, was their most notable contribution.
In the decades to follow, "Take a Look at Me", "I Told You Once Before", "Alice Designs" and "You Don't Need Me", have appeared on at least a dozen compilation CDs that are still available on the market, such as Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 7.
In the summer of 2001, the band reunited for a one-time performance at the annual Seymour picnic at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon.
