Sir Douglas Quintet was a popular Rock and Roll group of the 1960's. Based out of San Antonio, Texas despite their British sounding name, they are best known for their 1965 hit single "She's About A Mover". This song features a Tex-Mex sound with a pulsating organ riff and soulful vocals from lead singer Doug Sahm.

In addition to "She's About a Mover" the band is known for its songs "Mendocino" and "Dynamite Woman."

The Sir Douglas Quintet is considered a pioneering influence in the history of rock and roll for incorporating Tex-Mex and Cajun styles into rock music. In 2005 they were among the new class of musicians chosen for the nominating ballot to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
