Vanilla Fudge
Vanilla Fudge is an American rock band from New York City formed in 1966 and originally active until 1970, during which time they released five albums. They became known for their hard rock arrangements of contemporary pop songs, particularly with their cover of "You Keep Me Hangin' On", a Motown song originally recorded by the Supremes, which became a hit single in 1968. After occasional reunions during the 1980s and early 1990s, the band reformed full time in 1999.
The group's foundational lineup remained consistent during 1967–1970, comprising vocalist/organist Mark Stein and bassist/vocalist Tim Bogert, who left another band to form The Pigeons (later renamed Vanilla Fudge). Guitarist/vocalist Vince Martell, and drummer/vocalist Carmine Appice. Bogert retired from live music in 2009, whereafter Pete Bremy joined on bass; Bogert died from cancer in 2021. "The Fudge", as members call the group, is currently touring with Stein, Martell, Appice, and Bremy, with concert dates scheduled through 2026.
Vanilla Fudge has been cited as "one of the few American links between psychedelia and what soon became heavy metal" and as a proto-prog band.
