The Starfires was an American garage rock band from Los Angeles, that is best known for one of the most sought-after singles of the mid-1960s, "I Never Loved Her", which can command prices of $1000 or more (although reproductions of the single are also available). This is not the same band as the Starfires of Cleveland, the predecessor band to the Outsiders.
