Vanilla Fudge was a great band. In the 90's Welshman Mikel Japp (ex marmalade) used to run a weekly jam at (now defunct) 'Captains Cabin in North Hollywood (Victory just E of Lankershim), and bass virtuoso Tim Bogert would frequently be on bass. Famed Palomino Club nearby had just closed, but club FM Station on the West corner was still open. Good times
Nowadays when I hear this version of "You Keep Me Hangin' On" , I think of "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood", if you haven't seen the movie, it plays during a very dramatic scene.
Vanilla Fudge did mostly covers, while most bands at the time prided themselves on doing originals, which often led to the critics underrating and dismissing them. But they certainly made the covers their own. Who would have imagined that they could turn a Motown pop/soul classic into a raging progressive rock classic?
They were the darlings of Ed Sullivan---plus they were local! Ed didn't have to ship them in from across the pond, or fly them in from the West Coast, they just happened to live in the neighbourhood!
This performance is an all time classic. 100% balls and heart. What a performance.
Vanilla Fudge were the cover song kings, they wove even more magic into already great songs
For such an animated, manic drummer, Carmine is so low-key in person. Absolutely a drummer's drummer.
R I P, Tim Bogert...died January, 2021.
They were EXCELLENT players. I loved how the drummer managed the drum kit. Their composition of Keep Me Hangin On was over the top stellar.
Vince Martell: Joe Pesci's speaking😂
Heavy...heavy..heaven..the first heavy band for the valium set!! Killer band
I remember these guys. I dont know why they split so quickly. I wish they recorded better back then.
