Jeff’s Playlist: Vanilla Fudge

|

Estimated time to read:

1–2 minutes

I came across this album in my YouTube wan­der­ings. You may not remem­ber this, but if you lis­tened to the radio back in the late ’60s you prob­a­bly heard a few of these cuts. Appice and Bogert went on to play with Cactus and then Beck, Bogert, and Appice.

I guess this is where they start­ed. Bogert nev­er did learn to sing. A good effort, nonetheless.
