3 + 2 was a five-piece band active in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They released their debut album 'Butterflies' in 1969, which included the title track that became their most recognizable song. The band's lineup featured Winifred Bower on vocals, Raymond Allington on guitar, Simon Carter on bass, Peter Harris on drums, and Jennifer Morton on keyboards.
Their music had a folk-rock quality, with Bower's vocals often described as ethereal. They followed 'Butterflies' with albums like 'Reflections' in 1971, 'Morning Song' in 1973, and 'Into the Light' in 1975. Some of their lyrics addressed social themes, which occasionally drew mixed reactions from listeners.
The song 'Butterflies' from their first album became something of a signature piece for the group. It had a melodic quality that connected with audiences at the time, dealing with themes of change and emotional transition. The band's recordings from this period continue to surface in folk-rock collections and playlists.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
