VANILLA FUDGE

'Vanilla Fudge' was an American psychedelic band that recorded albums from 1967 to 1970. Members included organist Mark Stein, bassist Tim Bogert, lead guitarist Vince Martell, and drummer Carmine Appice.
They had a number of hit singles, their biggest hit being "You Keep Me Hangin' On," a slowed-down, trippy, hard rock cover of a song originally recorded by The Supremes, which particularly featured Appice's energetic drumming. One follow-up to this hit, "Take Me For a Little While," had a quite different lyric message than the former.
The members of Vanilla Fudge were great admirers of The Beatles, and covered several of their songs including "Ticket to Ride", as well as "Eleanor Rigby", of which The Beatles were quite fond.
Their rendition of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" was featured in the 2007 film "Zodiac".
They were inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (www.limusichalloffame.org)on October 15, 2006, along with Billy Joel and Joan Jett. Fellow Long Islander Felix Cavaliere inducted them into the hall.
