WikiPedia] Vanilla Fudge is an American rock band from New York City, originally formed and active from 1967–1970, 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; it was released as a hit single in 1968.
The group's foundational lineup remained consistent between 1967–1970, comprising vocalist/organist Mark Stein, bassist/vocalist Tim Bogert, 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.
