Listener comments!

	♥ 6:02pm Frank In Queens: Hi Max, Kip, Joe, and Chris
	♥ 6:02pm Frank In Queens: Vanilla Fudge started life back in 1965 as The Pigeons. After being impressed by local sensations The Young Rascals, organist Mark Stein and bassist Tim Bogert decided to form a band in a similar vein. They recruited guitarist Vince Martell, and later drummer Carmine Appice and started playing the local clubs on Long Island and in NYC.

	6:04pm Derek D: Time to get Stuffed! Hey all....
	♥ 6:04pm Frank In Queens: In early 1967, Atlantic Records was interested in signing them to a deal. But there was a catch; they needed a new name. Atlantic didn’t care for The Pigeons, and neither did some of the band members. After deliberating on some names, a young woman who worked at the Page 2 club on Long Island suggested the name “Vanilla Fudge” as it was the nickname her grandfather had for her as a child, and because it described they’re sound, “you’re like white soul music”. The band liked it, and so did Atlantic Records. The rest is history.
	♥ 6:04pm Frank In Queens: Hey there Jessie, medson, WLS, Scotty, bob, and Derek!
	6:05pm LesleyK: Hey Frank and everyone! Just about to bike home while listening...sounding good!

	6:13pm kev: Hi
	♥ 6:13pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Scott_Oz @6:13 Can always use some love!
	♥ 6:13pm Frank In Queens: What's up Kev?!
	♥ 6:14pm Jessie: Hey Woo!
	♥ 6:14pm Frank In Queens: The band made five albums for Atlantic from ‘67-’69; their sound getting heavier as the decade wore on. After meeting Jeff Beck, the rhythm section of Bogert and Appice made tentative plans to form a new band with Beck, but plans were derailed when Beck was in a severe auto accident which would require months of recovery. Bogert and Appice still wound up leaving in 1970 to form Cactus with Amboy Dukes singer Rusty Day and Detroit Wheels guitarist Jim McCarty. Cactus released three records with this line-up, and a fourth with Day and McCarty replaced.
	6:15pm kev: Just finished planting carrots and beets now time for supper maybe some vanilla fudge ice cream for dessert
	6:16pm Christina Ginger: Ah, Parchman farm is a song with an interesting past. But it’s a great tune.
	♥ 6:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ kev @6:15 Nice man! i got my garden going a few weeks ago, and we're ready for our first weeding. Goddamn thing exploded as soon as we got some decent rainfall!
	6:16pm Joe B: never got around to seeing VF for some reason, closest I came was Martell guesting with the chesterfield kings at Cavestomp 1!
	♥ 6:17pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Joe B @6:16 That's still pretty cool.
	♥ 6:17pm Discotech Underground: Cactus, featuring Rusty Day from Deeetroit, Michigan!
	♥ 6:17pm Frank In Queens: Mark Stein and Vince Martell tried to keep the band going after Bogert and Appice’s departure replacing them with Sal D’Nofrio and Jim Galluzi, but to know avail. The band ended in 1970 and Mark Stein wound up forming Boomerang with Galluzi. They recorded one album for RCA Victor and called it a day.
	♥ 6:17pm Discotech Underground: Jim McCarty, too!
	6:18pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Joe B @6:16 Nice, Joe! Do you know about what year that was?
	6:18pm bobobob: I seen Rusty Day &Detroit in a small club in Milwaukee..Steve Hunter on Guitar instead of Jim McCarty
	6:19pm Christina Ginger: Oh, btw, my mom (Terry) says hi to you all. She’s been having internet issues.
	6:20pm Joe B: ↳ Christina Ginger @6:18 1998. they did psychotic reaction
	6:20pm kev: I never saw VF either but I did see Beck Bogert Appice
	♥ 6:21pm Mike Sin: Digging all this! I never had a chance to see Vanilla or Cactus in any configuration, but as a teenager, i did shake Carmine Appice's hand at a "drum clinic" at Robbie's Music Barn in Mahwah, NJ!
	♥ 6:21pm Frank In Queens: ↳ kev @6:20 Man! Please tell me they did not disappoint!
	6:22pm Max D: ↳ kev @6:20 That's amazing!
	6:23pm bobobob: Frank ...you might wanna play some Leafhound also??????
	♥ 6:23pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Max D @6:22 Seriously. As if I needed any more reason to feel like I was born too late.
	♥ 6:23pm Frank In Queens: In 1972, both Cactus and the Jeff Beck Group (which Beck formed after he recovered from his injuries) folded. Since all three of Beck, Bogert, and Appice were now free from other commitments, they made good on the plans they made in ‘69 and formed Beck, Bogert, & Appice. The trio recorded one album for Epic in 1973 and called it quits.
	6:25pm Max D: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:23 Yeah, me too! As the show started, I remember my big sister getting the s/t Vanilla Fudge on her birthday. I was 6 or 7 at the time.
	♥ 6:25pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Max D, Kip, Joe B, Chris Crash, Jessie, medson, WLSClark, Scotty, bobobobobob, Derek D, LesleyK, RKO_CityGardensOG, Stu Rutherford, Woo, coelacanth, kev, Christina Ginger, Mike Sin, and anyone I missed!
	♥ 6:26pm Frank In Queens: ↳ bobobob @6:23 Briefly considered it, but the show is too short to get into the weeds with different band members of different groups and past endeavors. The focus here is the original members of VF.
	6:27pm kev: Tim had that mouth tube connected to the bass it was amazing I think it was before Framton
	♥ 6:28pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:25 G'day Will ☕😎🤙💨🍺
	6:29pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:25 Hey there, Will!
	♥ 6:32pm Frank In Queens: Hey there Will. Good to see you!
	♥ 6:32pm Stu Rutherford: ↳ Joe B @6:20 I was there as well. Totally forgot about Martel's guest appearance. Although, 1998 was Cavestomp 2. The first was in '97.
	♥ 6:32pm Jessie: Hey Will!
	♥ 6:32pm Stu Rutherford: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:25 Hey Will!
	♥ 6:33pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Max D @6:25 Awesome! My dad had that one when I was growing up, so I've been familiar with it forever. But when I really sat down and listened to it, I was blown away by what they were doing in '67. So heavy and proggy, yet soulful and psychedelic as well. As I said in the break, LANDMARK ALBUM.
	6:34pm ForeverToWhatever: Late to class but glad I made it this week! 🙌
	♥ 6:35pm Discotech Underground: Hey Will!
	♥ 6:35pm DJ Terre T: Hiya Frank! been listening since the beginning- sounding so great-- thx for doing this excellent VF overview!
	♥ 6:35pm Frank In Queens: ↳ kev @6:27 Tim doesn't really get his due as a bassist. He's a monster, and quite virtuostic. I can't think of another bassist that sounds like him. There's a definite soul/r&b influence to his playing, but he takes it in a completely different direction.
	♥ 6:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ ForeverToWhatever @6:34 Hey man! Great to see you here on the boards. Much appreciated!
	6:36pm Joe B: ↳ Stu Rutherford @6:32 Stu! thanks! you are correct! Martell was there in 1997, because in 98 the Kings played with Mark Lindsay!
	6:37pm LesleyK: ↳ Woo @6:07 hi Woo, finally catching up on the comments!
	6:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: The other week I saw a dude walking up Washington St. in Hoboken wearing a T-shirt displaying the cover of the first Vanilla Fudge album. I hope he is listening!
	6:37pm Joe B: ↳ Christina Ginger @6:18 Christina, it was1997, not 1998!
	6:38pm LesleyK: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:08 Hi Kip!
	♥ 6:38pm Frank In Queens: I want that shirt!
	6:38pm LesleyK: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:25 hi Will!
	6:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:38 rockabilia.com...
	6:40pm Joe B: really surprised Mark Stein never had a big hit post VF. a great singer who already had a massive success
	♥ 6:40pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @6:39 Thanks! If I only knew about the Vanilla Fudge facemask back in the early days of COVID before I went all KN-95!
	♥ 6:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Joe B @6:40 True! And in another Deep Purple connection, I think he sounds quite like Coverdale on that Boomerang track. Or maybe it's the other way around....
	6:41pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Joe B @6:37 Nice and early! And at the height of the Kings surf music era.
	♥ 6:42pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:40 But I did buy a Gilbert Gottfried mask!
	♥ 6:43pm DJ Terre T: Hi Max D, Discotech Kip, Joe B, Chris Crash, Jessie, Medson, Will th Sound Guy,WLSClark,Scott_Oz, bobobob, Derek D, Stu, LesleyK, RKO, Woo, coelacanth∅,kev, Christina Ginger, Mike Sin, Will thee Sound Guy, ForeverToWhatever,Todd-o-phonic Todd and errybody!
	♥ 6:43pm Discotech Underground: If you ever get the chance, I'd recommend checking out the mono pressing of the first VF album! It packs a wollop!
	♥ 6:44pm Frank In Queens: All four members kept busy through the 70s (especially Appice who wound up playing with Rod Stewart). In 1982, the band reunited to support a “best of” collection released by Atlantic Records. The band has been active both recording and performing since then, though not always with all four original members. Tim Bogert had to retire from performing in 2009 due to health issues. He was permanently replaced by New Jersey native Pete Bremy who remains with the band to this day. Unfortunately, Bogert passed away on January 13th, 2021.
	♥ 6:44pm Stu Rutherford: ↳ DJ Terre T @6:43 Heya Terre!
	6:44pm Max D: Hey there, DJ Terre T!!!
	6:44pm LesleyK: ↳ DJ Terre T @6:43 hi Terre!
	♥ 6:44pm Discotech Underground: Hey Hey Terre T! Christina! Todd!
	♥ 6:44pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Terre T @6:43 G'day Tezza!🌻 How's Johnny mate? 😎🤙💨🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
	6:44pm Joe B: ↳ Christina Ginger @6:41 i wish they had done some of that stuff! was still a great night
	♥ 6:44pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:43 it's on my list, but so far I haven't had any luck finding a good/affordable copy. Until then, the Sundazed reissue will have to suffice!
	♥ 6:48pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Scott_Oz @6:44 JohnnyTeebro out of the hospital and doing better! Thx for asking❣️
	♥ 6:48pm Frank In Queens: ↳ DJ Terre T @6:43 Always a pleasure to have you here Terre! Totally looking forward to you and Stu filling in for Vikki V tomorrow night from 8-10PM on this very here Rock And Soul Stream! That is, in addition to your normal shows 6-8 tomorrow and Friday from 4-5! Also, Stu has his We're Outta Site show afterward from 10-Midnight!

	♥ 6:51pm medson: Hey Terre. Thanks Frank awesome show.
	6:52pm Max D: Thanks so much, Frank! A really nice dive into Vanilla Fudge!
	♥ 6:52pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Frank, for a fudgy good time!!!
	♥ 6:52pm Jessie: Excellent stuff tonight Frank. Thank you.
	6:54pm LesleyK: Thanks Frank! nice focused, rockin show!
	♥ 6:54pm Frank In Queens: Cheers everyone, thanks for tuning in! Honest question: is one hour not enough time to do these type of spotlight shows? I enjoyed doing it, but felt as though I wasn't really able to explore the music as much as i would like to. If you enjoyed it, I'll probably keep at it. But if you felt it to be lacking in depth, I might reconsider.
	♥ 6:55pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Frank, feeling totally fudged up now, it went great with morning coffee mate! 🌏🌧️☕😎🤙💨🍺
	6:55pm Max D: It was great, Frank. "Leave 'em wanting more!"
	♥ 6:57pm Frank In Queens: BTW, in these times where taking a popular song and slowing it down or changing the mood is sort of the de facto way of interpreting other people's material, these guys were doing it WAY more effectively 50 years ago. I think their version of "Hanging" coveys the feeling of unrequited love, longing, and heartbreak even better than the original. Of course, that's not to say the original isn't amazing, but this captures the sentiment a bit better. Nowadays artists just slow songs down for little reason, IMO.
	♥ 6:57pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:54 I think it functions as a good "editor" - u must choose da choicest jams! Or u can always do a part 2 - people like that . . . . or u COULD Do a 2hr show 😘- u know with all that free time u have btwn all yr various bands!
	♥ 6:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Frank!
	♥ 6:59pm Frank In Queens: Thanks for the feedback everyone! Much appreciated. Let's see what the future brings. In the meantime, stay tuned for Kick Out The Jams coming up next, with Lesley K filling in for Joey D tonight. Not to be missed!

The sound of the 60s becoming the 70s...and beyond! Late-era garage and early hard rock, with a pinch of more "modern" sounds thrown in for flavor. Fuzz, frets, riffage, and wattage. Let your hair down on WFMU's Rock And Soul Radio and get a taste of the "Hard Stuff".

	♥ 6:28pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:25 G'day Will ☕😎🤙💨🍺
	6:29pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:25 Hey there, Will!
	♥ 6:32pm Frank In Queens: Hey there Will. Good to see you!
	♥ 6:32pm Stu Rutherford: ↳ Joe B @6:20 I was there as well. Totally forgot about Martel's guest appearance. Although, 1998 was Cavestomp 2. The first was in '97.
	♥ 6:32pm Jessie: Hey Will!
	♥ 6:32pm Stu Rutherford: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:25 Hey Will!
	♥ 6:33pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Max D @6:25 Awesome! My dad had that one when I was growing up, so I've been familiar with it forever. But when I really sat down and listened to it, I was blown away by what they were doing in '67. So heavy and proggy, yet soulful and psychedelic as well. As I said in the break, LANDMARK ALBUM.
	6:34pm ForeverToWhatever: Late to class but glad I made it this week! 🙌
	♥ 6:35pm Discotech Underground: Hey Will!
	♥ 6:35pm DJ Terre T: Hiya Frank! been listening since the beginning- sounding so great-- thx for doing this excellent VF overview!
	♥ 6:35pm Frank In Queens: ↳ kev @6:27 Tim doesn't really get his due as a bassist. He's a monster, and quite virtuostic. I can't think of another bassist that sounds like him. There's a definite soul/r&b influence to his playing, but he takes it in a completely different direction.
	♥ 6:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ ForeverToWhatever @6:34 Hey man! Great to see you here on the boards. Much appreciated!
	6:36pm Joe B: ↳ Stu Rutherford @6:32 Stu! thanks! you are correct! Martell was there in 1997, because in 98 the Kings played with Mark Lindsay!
	6:37pm LesleyK: ↳ Woo @6:07 hi Woo, finally catching up on the comments!
	6:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: The other week I saw a dude walking up Washington St. in Hoboken wearing a T-shirt displaying the cover of the first Vanilla Fudge album. I hope he is listening!
	6:37pm Joe B: ↳ Christina Ginger @6:18 Christina, it was1997, not 1998!
	6:38pm LesleyK: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:08 Hi Kip!
	♥ 6:38pm Frank In Queens: I want that shirt!
	6:38pm LesleyK: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:25 hi Will!
	6:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:38 rockabilia.com...
	6:40pm Joe B: really surprised Mark Stein never had a big hit post VF. a great singer who already had a massive success
	♥ 6:40pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @6:39 Thanks! If I only knew about the Vanilla Fudge facemask back in the early days of COVID before I went all KN-95!
	♥ 6:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Joe B @6:40 True! And in another Deep Purple connection, I think he sounds quite like Coverdale on that Boomerang track. Or maybe it's the other way around....
	6:41pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Joe B @6:37 Nice and early! And at the height of the Kings surf music era.
	♥ 6:42pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:40 But I did buy a Gilbert Gottfried mask!
	♥ 6:43pm DJ Terre T: Hi Max D, Discotech Kip, Joe B, Chris Crash, Jessie, Medson, Will th Sound Guy,WLSClark,Scott_Oz, bobobob, Derek D, Stu, LesleyK, RKO, Woo, coelacanth∅,kev, Christina Ginger, Mike Sin, Will thee Sound Guy, ForeverToWhatever,Todd-o-phonic Todd and errybody!
	♥ 6:43pm Discotech Underground: If you ever get the chance, I'd recommend checking out the mono pressing of the first VF album! It packs a wollop!
	♥ 6:44pm Frank In Queens: All four members kept busy through the 70s (especially Appice who wound up playing with Rod Stewart). In 1982, the band reunited to support a “best of” collection released by Atlantic Records. The band has been active both recording and performing since then, though not always with all four original members. Tim Bogert had to retire from performing in 2009 due to health issues. He was permanently replaced by New Jersey native Pete Bremy who remains with the band to this day. Unfortunately, Bogert passed away on January 13th, 2021.
	♥ 6:44pm Stu Rutherford: ↳ DJ Terre T @6:43 Heya Terre!

	♥ 6:44pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:43 it's on my list, but so far I haven't had any luck finding a good/affordable copy. Until then, the Sundazed reissue will have to suffice!
	♥ 6:48pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Scott_Oz @6:44 JohnnyTeebro out of the hospital and doing better! Thx for asking❣️

	♥ 6:52pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Frank, for a fudgy good time!!!
	♥ 6:52pm Jessie: Excellent stuff tonight Frank. Thank you.
	6:54pm LesleyK: Thanks Frank! nice focused, rockin show!
	♥ 6:54pm Frank In Queens: Cheers everyone, thanks for tuning in! Honest question: is one hour not enough time to do these type of spotlight shows? I enjoyed doing it, but felt as though I wasn't really able to explore the music as much as i would like to. If you enjoyed it, I'll probably keep at it. But if you felt it to be lacking in depth, I might reconsider.
	♥ 6:55pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Frank, feeling totally fudged up now, it went great with morning coffee mate! 🌏🌧️☕😎🤙💨🍺
	6:55pm Max D: It was great, Frank. "Leave 'em wanting more!"
	♥ 6:57pm Frank In Queens: BTW, in these times where taking a popular song and slowing it down or changing the mood is sort of the de facto way of interpreting other people's material, these guys were doing it WAY more effectively 50 years ago. I think their version of "Hanging" coveys the feeling of unrequited love, longing, and heartbreak even better than the original. Of course, that's not to say the original isn't amazing, but this captures the sentiment a bit better. Nowadays artists just slow songs down for little reason, IMO.
	♥ 6:57pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:54 I think it functions as a good "editor" - u must choose da choicest jams! Or u can always do a part 2 - people like that . . . . or u COULD Do a 2hr show 😘- u know with all that free time u have btwn all yr various bands!
	♥ 6:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Frank!
	♥ 6:59pm Frank In Queens: Thanks for the feedback everyone! Much appreciated. Let's see what the future brings. In the meantime, stay tuned for Kick Out The Jams coming up next, with Lesley K filling in for Joey D tonight. Not to be missed!
