"The Left Banke followed "Walk Away, Rene" with Pretty Ballerina, a big hit (at least out here) at the time of Superbowl I."

Granted, but some of the bands that are really known for one song had one less successful follow-up before they disappeared. I mentioned the Nashville Teens in that same vein.

Moved from Indio, California to Calais, Maine in February, 1967. In the summer of ‘67 we started a rock and roll band. All idiot high school kids. Called it the East Coast, inspired by the Left Bank. I played the guitar a bit, but we needed a drummer, so for $100 I bought a set of used Pearl drums in a pawn shop in Portland, Maine, added some Zildjan cymbals and became the drummer. Probably didn’t spell the cymbal maker name correctly.

At the same time worked as a DJ at the local radio station. Almost got fired for playing Bobbie Gentry’s Ode to Billy Joe on Sunday morning.

This thread brings back a lot of memories and tunes I appreciated lo those many years and decades ago.
