In 1966, this New Jersey group came off very much like a <a href="spotify:artist:7CCn4PFRRRZF127jtCBAUe">Lovin' Spoonful</a> Jr., scoring a minor hit with a cover of <a href="spotify:artist:3FPF6tyBTP79pCCAJDcPft">John Sebastian</a>'s "Younger Girl" and then chalking up their only Top 20 single with the very <a href="spotify:artist:7CCn4PFRRRZF127jtCBAUe">Spoonful</a>-esque original "Mr. Dieingly Sad." The group's soft harmonies and pop folk-rock were in a considerably lighter vein than their Kama Sutra labelmates, though. Much of their material was self-penned, though they also benefited from compositions by <a href="spotify:artist:0iVed2Qu7dmL0pIYCj1Xw8">Jackie DeShannon</a> and Brill Building tunesmiths Pete Anders, <a href="spotify:artist:5mWKNxAybxJLnwIwQfJKGQ">Vinnie Poncia</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1kz64yPMg5Fz2HYvFhjAEd">Doc Pomus</a>. Recording quite a few singles and an LP for Kama Sutra from 1965 to 1967, their gentle pop/rock was rather lightweight, with the exception of their best singles. After a final Top 40 hit in 1967 ("Don't Let the Rain Fall Down on Me"), principal songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:1fw5Y32oLHIif2ZpkcIG6Q">Don Ciccone</a> was drafted, and the group struggled on with a couple albums for the Project 3 label before splitting. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
