question: when was the later owner of Question Mark & the Mysterians died?
answer: July 4, 2009
context: Title: ? and the Mysterians
  Passage: ?  and the Mysterians (also rendered Question Mark and the Mysterians) are an American garage rock band from Bay City and Saginaw in Michigan, who were initially active between 1962 and 1969.  Much of the band's music consisted of electric organ-driven instrumentals and an enigmatic image inspired by the science fiction film "The Mysterians".  In addition, the band's sound was also marked by raw-resonating lead vocals of "?"  (Question Mark, the stage name of Rudy Martinez), making Question Mark and the Mysterians one of the earliest groups whose musical style is described as punk rock.  Through their music, the group was recognized as a template for similar musical acts to follow.
  Title: The Neats
  Passage: The Neats were a Boston rock band that existed from the late 1970s to early 1990s.  They first recorded for the independent Propeller label, which in 1981 released the song, "Six", a swirling, Vox-washed slab of garage rock reminiscent of Question Mark & the Mysterians.  The following year, their well-received debut, 7-song EP, "The Monkey's Head in the Corner of the Room", was released on Boston's Ace of Hearts Records.  It was voted one of the best EPs of 1982 in the Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop poll.  Three full-length albums followed.  The band featured well-crafted songs and a psychedelic power pop sound in a similar vein as The Dream Syndicate and The Feelies.  They occasionally played on the same bill as Mission of Burma; they once toured nationally with R.E.M..
  Title: Creem
  Passage: Creem (which is always capitalized in print as "CREEM" despite the magazine's nameplate appearing in mostly lower case letters), "America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine", was a monthly rock 'n' roll publication first published in March 1969 by Barry Kramer and founding editor Tony Reay.  It suspended production in 1989 but received a short-lived renaissance in the early 1990s as a glossy tabloid.  Lester Bangs, often cited as "America's Greatest Rock Critic", became editor in 1971.  The term "punk rock" was coined by the magazine in May 1971, in Dave Marsh's "Looney Tunes" column about Question Mark & the Mysterians.
  Title: Allen Klein
  Passage: Allen Klein (December 18, 1931 July 4, 2009) was an American businessman, music publisher, writers' representative, filmmaker and record label executive, most noted for his tough persona and aggressive, innovative negotiation tactics, many of which established higher industry standards for compensating recording artists.  He founded ABKCO Music & Records Incorporated.  Klein revolutionized the income potential of recording artists, who previously had been routinely victimized by onerous record company contracts.  He first scored massive monetary and contractual windfalls for Buddy Knox and Jimmy Bowen, one-hit rockabillies of the late 1950s, then parlayed his early successes into a position managing Sam Cooke, and eventually managed the Beatles and the Rolling Stones simultaneously, along with many other artists, becoming one of the most powerful individuals in the music industry during his era.
  Title: ABKCO Records
  Passage: ABKCO Music & Records, Inc. (ABKCO acronym of Allen & Betty Klein and COmpany) is an American major independent record label, music publisher, and film and video production company.

  Title: Question Mark &amp; the Mysterians (album)
  Passage: Question Mark & the Mysterians is a 1997 eponymous album by the garage rock band ?  and the Mysterians, known for their #1 1966 hit "96 Tears".  The album was recorded by the original members of the band as a result of their inability to access their masters or re-release their own earlier material, which had passed from the ownership of label Cameo to Allen Klein.  It included all of the songs released on their first album, "96 Tears", as well as several other tracks.  The rerecorded version of "96 Tears" was subsequently incorporated into compilations.
  Title: In Our Lifetime (Marvin Gaye song)
  Passage: "In Our Lifetime" is a funk song recorded by singer Marvin Gaye, issued on his final Motown album, 1981's "In Our Lifetime".  The title track's rhythm admittedly was taken from Rick James while the song parlayed a different message of partying with Marvin predicting the world's end as he had believed from teachings he absorbed from his father that Armageddon was approaching and that he wondered if it would happen in his lifetime.  He says the title track as a question mark.  In fact, the original concept of the album was to have a question mark at the end of the album title, "In Our Lifetime?" , Motown instead took the question mark rush-releasing the album after it was presented to the label in late 1980 by bassist Frank Blair.  The song ends ironically enough in a much somber jazz tone that was likely edited in by Motown staff.  An earlier funk version of the song was recorded as "I Offer You Nothing But Love" for Marvin's "Love Man" album and a 2007 Odyssey Studios mix of the song ended the song without a jazz instrumental.
  Title: Robert Balderrama
  Passage: Robert "Bobby"Lee Balderrama, born in O'Donnell, Texas, grew up in Saginaw, Michigan, is the lead guitarist for the band Question Mark & the Mysterians and was so when they recorded their first hit song 96 Tears.  He later played with Joe King Carrasco and the Crowns on the "Bandido Rock" album of 1987.  He still periodically plays shows with the original members of ?  and the Mysterians.  Robert Lee Balderrama also has formed a Smooth Jazz group "Robert Lee Revue"
  Title: Whatcha Doin'
  Passage: Whatcha Doin' is the debut album by Detroit garage punk band The Go, released in 1999.  It showcases their earlier sound, which could be characterized as more aggressive and lo-fi than later directions, and is notable for featuring lead guitarist Jack White (subsequently of The White Stripes and The Upholsterers).  By opening for the garage rock band Question Mark & the Mysterians, The Go caught the attention of the independent record label Sub Pop and were eventually signed to the label.
