Background notes
Archive material and source history
Tommy Fogerty & The Blue Velvets came together in the 1960s with Tommy Fogerty on lead vocals, Skip Battin on bass, John Tristao on guitar, and George Tickner on drums. They put out their debut single "Oh! My Love" in 1965, which became a hit. The song's direct lyrics about heartbreak drew some criticism at the time for being too explicit.
Their sound leaned on Tommy's vocal range and the band's harmonies. They recorded other songs like "Bonita," "Come On Baby," and "Have You Ever Been Lonely." The group released several albums through the late 1960s, including This Is the Age and What More Can I Do.
They faced management disputes and legal issues during their run. An incident involving a fan also became public and affected their standing. The band's recordings from that period still show their vocal arrangements and straightforward rock approach.
