Vanilla Fudge - Definition and Overview |
|
|
Vanilla Fudge was an American psychedelic rock band that recorded albums from 1967 to 1970. Members included Mark Stein, bassist Tim Bogert, and Joey Brennan, all from Long Island, New York, lead guitarist Vince Martell and drummer Carmine Appice, both from New York City.
They had a number of hit singles, their biggest hit being "You Keep Me Hangin' On", a slowed down, trippy, hard rock cover of a song originally recorded by The Supremes, which particularly featured Appice's energetic drumming. One follow-up to this hit, "Take Me For a Little While", was an original composition with a very similar sound, both in musical themes and treatment, but words saying exactly the opposite. It did not do nearly as well. However it did attract some airplay, making it a rare instance of a band successfully parodying their own work.
