Formed in 1964 when John Carter and Ken Lewis (real names John Shakespeare (no joke!) and James Hawker), previously of Carter-Lewis and The Southerners, joined forces with Perry Ford (real name Brian Pugh). All three were session singers with songwriting ability and a clear liking for high-pitched vocals, and decided to record under their own name of The Ivy League. After their initial 45 flopped, Funny How Love Can Be, a song with instant appeal and high-pitched vocals which typified their style, took them into the Top Ten. The sadder but otherwise similar That's Why I'm Crying was a minor hit, but was followed by their finest moment, Tossin' And Turnin', which made No 3 over here and No 83 in the US. Their album, This Is The Ivy League, was a rather odd mixture of their own songs and other people's. During 1966 Carter and Lewis left and Burrows and Landon came in as replacements. Their final, if minor, hit was Willow Tree but the following year they returned as The Flowerpot Men.

During their hit period they used a backing group called Division Two (Clem Cattini (bs), Mickey Keen (gtr), Mike O'Neill (piano, organ), Dave Wintour (drms)), who also recorded a great instrumental beat/R&B album, Discotheque (Society SOC 1016) in 1965.

The eighties saw a band of this name working the night club circuit but it contained none of the earlier members.

The best introduction to their music is PRT's Best Of... compilation. It includes all their 'A' sides from the 1964-67 era, along with a couple of 'B' sides (including the Beach Boys/Four Seasons-inspired Lonely Room) and a few album tracks. A 'must' for harmony pop fans. Alternatively, the Repertoire CD reissue of their debut album in 1991 also includes most of their remaining Pye singles and all four tracks from their festive EP The Holly And The Ivy League. This was 26 tracks as opposed to the later Sequel 22-track compilation. Inevitably there is much duplication in material but the Sequel compilation included seven cuts not on the Repertoire set. The best of these was the exquisite My World Fell Down.

Отличная группа! А есть ли они у кого-нибудь поальбомно?
Кстати, любителям этой группы рекомендую послушать
другое творчество продуктивного дуэта Carter/Lewis: The Flowerpot Men (это конец 60-ых) и First Class (это уже 70-ые).

А если перевести разговор в практическое русло? Поделишься записями The Flowerpot Men?
