Vanilla Fudge

An American psychedelic rock group that recorded albums from 1967 to 1970. Its members were organist and vocalist Mark Stein, bassist Tim Bogert, lead guitarist Vince Martell, and drummer Carmine Appice. They had several hits, the most famous being "You Keep Me Hangin' On"—a hard rock cover version of the song by the group The Supremes, which particularly brightly demonstrates Appice's energetic style. Another of their hits, "Take Me for a Little While," was created in a completely different lyrical style. The members of Vanilla Fudge were big admirers of the Beatles and recorded several cover versions of their songs, including "Ticket to Ride" and "Eleanor Rigby," which the Beatles themselves liked. On October 15, 2006, they were inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.
