Peak Psychedelia

Vanilla Fudge doing their cover of The Supremes' You Keep Me Hangin' On, a #1 hit for the Motown group in 1966.  This is from the Ed Sullivan Show on January 14, 1968.  For the full nearly 7-minute album version listen here.  One of the great covers in rock.  Fudge specialized in slowed-down versions of rock and pop songs.  I listened to a lot of their stuff.  Drummer Carmine Appice is the best-known member, going on to play with Rod Stewart and many others, along with authoring a popular training book for drummers.  Three of the four original band members, including Appice, toured as recently as 2022.
