storytelling that reflects on the history of rock gives the audience a “You are
There” feeling that can only be told by someone who has lived it.
The
debut album: Vanilla Fudge was the first of its kind to reach the top 10 on
Billboard charts without a hit single. “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” was released
one year later and went to #1 on most radio playlists, both in America and all
over the World! The psychedelic symphonic rock sound of the band was
spearheaded by the Hammond organ & vocal style of Mark Stein. “The Fudge”
have been heralded by critics as the doorway between pop music and Progressive
Rock. Bands including Deep Purple, Yes, Uriah Heep and even Led Zeppelin have
said that Vanilla Fudge had a profound influence on them.
Rolling
Stone magazine wrote: “There was nothing, even in 1967, like the 10-ton shock
of this Long Island quartet’s cover of the Supremes You Keep Me Hanging On,
with the lava-flow sustain of Mark Stein’s Hammond organ…”
