The Ohio Express was a bubblegum pop/garage band that fronted for Kasenetz and Katz's Super K Productions studio musicians working out of New York, including singer/songwriter Joey Levine ("Yummy Yummy Yummy"). The band is strongly associated with the bubblegum group 1910 Fruitgum Company. Both groups were partially faceless studio assemblages, and partially a real group. Career The real band behind The Ohio Express was originally named Sir Timothy & The Royals and hailed from Mansfield, Ohio. They hooked up with the men of Super K in 1966 and were renamed The Ohio Express. The lineup consisted of Doug Grassel (rhythm guitar), Dale Powers (lead guitar), Dean Kastran (bass), Jim Pfahler (keyboards), and Tim Corwin (drums). They released their first two singles and LP on Cameo-Parkway Records of Philadelphia in the autumn of 1967. Unfortunately, the record label went into bankruptcy shortly after that and was purchased by music business
