The Lovin' Spoonful: Daydream (1966)

Download

The Lovin' Spoonful
is an American pop rock band of the 1960s, named to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. Working with producer Erik Jacobsen, the band released their first single, the Sebastian-penned "Do You Believe in Magic", in August 1965. The Lovin' Spoonful played all the instruments on their records, with the exceptions of the orchestral instruments heard on their soundtrack album "You're A Big Boy Now" and some later singles. Additionally, aside from a few covers (mostly on their first album) they wrote all their own material. "Do You Believe In Magic" became a Top Ten hit in the US, and the band followed it up with a series of hit singles and albums throughout 1965 and 1966, all produced by Jacobsen. The Lovin' Spoonful became known for such folk-flavored pop hits as "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice", and "Daydream", which went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100."
