Combining the best of folk music and rock & roll with a touch of country thrown in, The Lovin’ Spoonful gave us such hits as “Do You Believe In Magic?,” “Daydream,” “You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice,” “Nashville Cats” and the anthem for a hot July evening, “Summer in the City.” The band was formed in 1965 when Steve Boone and Joe Butler, two rockers from Long Island teamed up with John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky, two folkies from Greenwich Village. Zal left the band in 1967 and was replaced by Jerry Yester, a member of the Modern Folk Quartet. More hits followed including “Darlin’ Be Home Soon,” “Six O'Clock” and “She’s Still A Mystery To Me.” John then left the band in 1968 and Steve, Joe and Jerry recorded what would be their last hit single, “Never Goin’ Back.” The band went their separate ways the following year and it wasn’t until 1991 that Steve and Joe contacted Jerry to start up again and they haven’t looked back since. The Lovin’ Spoonful continues to perform worldwide reaching out to a whole new audience in addition to those who have enjoyed their music over the years. The real-life inspiration behind the hit television series, The Partridge Family, The Cowsills were one of the biggest pop acts of the late 60’s. Distinguishing by their angelic harmonies and sun-kissed melodies, the group was formed by four of the brothers – Bill, Bob, Barry and John – who began performing during their teens at school dances in their native Newport, Rhode Island. After landing a regular gig at a local club in 1965, they recorded the single, “All I Really Wanna Be Is Me” on the Joda label. They then signed with Mercy Records releasing three more singles. Upon signing with MGM in 1967, brother Paul, sister Susan and mother Barbara joined the group and released their first million-selling single, “The Rain, The Park and Other Things.” They were soon booked on such notable TV shows as The Ed Sullivan Show and had their own TV special on NBC in 1968. The following year, they released their biggest hit … the multi-million selling title song from the musical, Hair. They then recorded the theme song for the TV series, Love American Style which premiered on ABC in the fall of 1969. Today the current line-up remains a family affair featuring Bob, Paul and Susan along with Bob’s son, Paul’s son and Susan’s husband. The Cowsills continue to record and tour still showcasing the amazing vocal harmonies that are as infectious and bright as ever.
