Yellow Balloon - The Yellow Balloon

This sunshiny day-glo gem is reminiscent of the lush, yet trippy studio wizardry of Sagittarius and the mind bending delights of Smile-era recordings. This new reissue of Yellow Balloon contains 16 tracks, including the complete stereo album & singles from '60s TV superstar Don Grady!A songwriting assignment from Dean Torrence led to a rich musical career for Los Angeles pop genius Gary Zekley. Zekley - a man whose body of work stands up to any of the precocious Brill Building bunch from five years earlier - originally penned the song "Yellow Balloon" for Jan and Dean, but also recorded the tune himself. When Zekley's version went into the Top Thirty in April of 1967, he assembled a band, called the Yellow Balloon (natch), with the likes of lead singer Alex Valdez and the multi-talented drummer/vocalist Don Grady, already a TV superstar as Robbie Macmurray's oldest kid on My Three Sons. This reissue of Yellow Balloon contains 16 tracks, including the complete original stereo album.How Can I Be DownStained Glass WindowBaby Baby It's YouPanama RedI've Got A Feeling For LoveYellow BalloonThe Children Of St. MonicaImpressions With SyvonneGood Feelin' TimeFollow The SunshineSpringtime GirlCan't Get Enough Of Your LoveJunk Master ShoppeA Good Man To Have Around The HouseLeaving It Up To YouNoollab Wolley
