Vanilla Fudge :

Vanilla Fudge was an American psychedelic band that recorded albums from
1967 to 1970. Members included vocalist/organist Mark Stein,
bassist/vocalist Tim Bogert, lead guitarist/vocalist Vince Martell, and
drummer/vocalist Carmine Appice.
Stein and Bogert played in a local band called Rick Martin & The Snowmen
and were so impressed by the sound of The Rascals (swinging and floods of
organ) that they decided to form their own band with Martell and Rick
Martin's drummer, Joey Brennan. Named themselves The Pigeons, they changed
the name to Vanilla Fudge in 1967, after the replacement of Brennan by
Appice. The group was then "discovered" and managed by reputed Luchese
crime-family member, Phillip Basile, who operated several famous L.I. clubs
— the Action House, Speaks, Channel 80, Industry — three of which were
the same club (on Austin Boulevard, in Island Park, NY) with different
names.
They had a number of popular songs, their bigge
