How Vanilla Fudge's 1967 Hit 'You Keep Me Hangin' On' Led to Their Downfall

The dark, thunderous reinvention of a Motown classic helped shape heavy metal, but ultimately trapped the band in a sound they could never escape.

I knew these guys way back when.

Lived in Farmingdale NY at the time.

They along with Billy Joel's 1st band (the Hassels) used to hang out at the local record store owned by the mother of one of Joel's band members.

Look at this. Teenagers who actually knew how to drive a stick. Today's kids have no idea what the third pedal is for. I tell you, a manual transmission is the best anti-theft device money can buy.

But if we weren't this old we couldn't say that we grew up in the best of times.

When my last car died 2 years ago, it took me forever to find a nice used car with a stick. I finally found a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek returned from a lease with only 16000 miles on it, 3 years old.

When you are a kid, you don't want to stand out.
All the other kids in Queens had these boots. After they got to elementary school, theycould take them off and walk around in sneakers.
Being from an outdoorsy family, I had a pair of LL Bean duck boots.
I would feel like an alien all day! Eventually my mom bought me a pair even though I didn't need them and they were not as good.
