A Los Angeles vocal group that captured late-60s optimism and kept singing into the 70s.
For their sound, start with "Wedding Bell Blues" and "California Soul." That covers their pop-sweet spot and their soulful side.
They gave a polished, hopeful voice to the late 60s with hits like "Up, Up and Away" and "Wedding Bell Blues." Their version of "The Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" became an anthem for the counterculture. Later tracks like "One Less Bell to Answer" showed they could handle more introspective material too.
They formed in Los Angeles in 1965 and found early success with producer Johnny Rivers. After their 1969 hit "The Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," they kept recording into the 1970s, with lineup changes along the way.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
