New Colony Six

The New Colony Six  is an American soft rock band whose height of popularity was from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s.  From Chicago, the group placed ten singles on the Hot 100 between 1966 and 1971.  Formed in 1965, their sound was characterized by Richie Unterberger as “a poppier American Them with their prominent organ, wobbly Lesley-fied guitar amplifications and rave-up tempos”, later devolving into “a cabaret-ish band with minor national hits to their credit by the end of the 1960s”.  Like Paul Revere & the Raiders, they wore colonial outfits on stage.  (More from Wikipedia)
