Back on April 3rd, I listed Bob Stroud's songs from March 28, 1967.
HARPER'S BIZARRE
This group had a song out called "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)."
They were one of the first groups to play what is called Broadway/Sunshine Pop Sound with this remake of the Simon & Garfunkel song. Harper's Bizarre was formed from a group called the Tikis from Santa Clara, California whose name was a play on the magazine Harper's Bazaar (which is the way I always spelled it before seeing it).
The song went to #13 and none of their other efforts did so well, so you'd have to call them One-Hit Wonders.
THE FIVE AMERICANS
The had a hit that date with "Western Union" which went to #3 and was their only top 20. They set the record for most use of a repetitive word or phrase with "dit".
They originated from Southeastern State College in Duran, Oklahoma, and were together from 1965 to 1969. My other favorite song of theirs was "Zip Code." Other songs of theirs were "Sound of Love," "Evol Not Love."

Maxine says the economy is so bad that Hot Wheels and Match Box stocks are selling higher than Chrysler and GM.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
