Background notes
Archive material and source history
Adair formed in San Francisco in 1965 with John Adair on vocals and guitar, Mary Anne Lee on vocals and keyboards, and Mark Anderson on bass and vocals. They released their debut album in 1969, which included 'The Diamond Ring,' a song that became a Top 10 hit in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
'The Diamond Ring' was their most recognizable track, but their catalog included other songs like 'I Buried My Heart In Cosmo Park' and 'A Room Full Of Atheists.' Mary Anne Lee left the band in 1972, and Adair continued as a duo, though their sound changed after her departure.
Some critics found their music overly sentimental, but the band kept making the kind of folk-rock they wanted to make. They never matched the commercial success of 'The Diamond Ring,' but that song remained what most people knew them for.
