The Lovin' Spoonful

Description

The Lovin’ Spoonful were America’s answer to the Beatles! The band, led by primary songwriter John Sebastian, Steve Boone, Joe Butler, and Zal Yanovsky, exploded onto the charts, sending their first seven singles soaring onto Billboard’s top 10 charts virtually overnight. The Spoonful formed in New York’s Greenwich Village in 1965 at the Night Owl Café and signed to Kama Sutra Records. They appeared on every major TV show of the era: The Ed Sullivan Show, Hullabaloo, and Shindig! Their first single, “Do You Believe in Magic,” flew to the top of the charts and was followed by an unprecedented string of hits including: “Daydream,” “Younger Girl,” “Summer in the City,” “You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice,” “Darling Be Home Soon,” “Jug Band Music,” “Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind,” “Lovin’ You,” “Didn’t Want to Have to Do it,” “Rain on the Roof,” “Six O’Clock,” “Nashville Cats,” “Coconut Grove,” and “She’s Still a Mystery (to Me).”
