Welcome! In
early 1967, a group of four musicians, Vince
Martell, Mark
Stein,
Tim
Bogert, and
Carmine
Appice collectively called The
Pigeons was busy playing the Long
Island (NY) club scene. When Tim Bogert and Mark Stein took the idea
of taking the Supremes'
hit You Keep Me Hanging On,
slowing it down, making it heavier and adding even more soul to it
(if that was possible- it was), back to the band, the world of Rock
& Roll was about to be turned upside down.
Atlantic
Records was soon to sign the band but wouldn't sign "The
Pigeons". Scrounging for a new name, legend has it they adopted
the nickname of Mark Stein's niece, who, because of her love of a
certain flavor of ice cream, had been dubbed "Vanilla
Fudge" by her uncle....
This
site is a tribute to Vanilla Fudge,
their music, their history and current events. It is endorsed by
many of the band members.
