VANILLA FUDGE TAKE ME FOR A LITTLE WHILE PLUS
The band has continued to tour and perform actively to the present day, with a lineup consisting of three original members - Appice, Martell, and Stein - plus Pete Bremy on bass. Since Vanilla Fudge's split in 1970, the band reunited several times over the years and reformed on a more permanent basis in 1999. Both "You Keep Me Hanging On" and "Take Me For A Little While" are among the tracks in Vanilla Fudge's eponymous 1967 debut album which also includes covers of such classics as The Zombies' "She's Not There" and The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby." The band's hits, which continued through 1969, also include "Where Is My Mind" (1968), "Season Of The Witch, Pt.
Vanilla Fudge also had a Top 40 hit later that year with a cover of the Trade Martin-penned "Take Me For A Little While" (1968). Vanilla Fudge debuted on the Pop/Rock charts in 1967 with its rendition of The Supremes' "You Keep Me Hanging On." Initially a minor hit, this song recharted in 1968 when it made the Top 10 and became the band's best known song. A forerunner to heavy metal, Vanilla Fudge has been cited as a major influence on such bands as Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Styx, Uriah Heep, and Yes. Formed in 1966 in Long Island, New York, the original members consisted of Carmine Appice (drums, vocals), Tim Bogert (bass, vocals), Vince Martell (lead guitar, vocals), and lead singer Mark Stein who also served as the band's keyboardist and arranger. But this is still an album of re-recordings packaged in such a way that the average fan could buy it mistakenly thinking it contained the original recordings.Vanilla Fudge is a veteran psychedelic/acid/hard rock band that became famous during the late 1960s for its slower tempo, organ-laden rock arrangements of various then-current hits. (On one track, "Need Love," Martell is replaced by Teddy Rondinelli, as the San Fernando Valley Symphony Orchestra backs the band in a live recording.) The three new songs are the 1979 Rod Stewart hit "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" (which Appice co-wrote with Stewart while working as his drummer) and, oddly, versions of two hits by turn-of-the-21st-century boy bands, *NSYNC's "Tearin' Up My Heart" and the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way." The performances are true to the Vanilla Fudge style, with slowed tempos, quotes from classical and traditional themes, and lengthy improvisation (eight of the 12 tracks run over six minutes), and the album certainly demonstrates that, almost 40 years into their career, the bandmembers retain their rock & roll chops admirably.
Then and Now is an entirely newly recorded album on which the 2004 edition of Vanilla Fudge - bassist Tim Bogert, guitarist Vince Martell, drummer Carmine Appice, and organist Bill Pascali (replacing original member Mark Stein) - re-creates its versions of songs that appeared on its Atco Records albums and singles of the '60s. The title of the album is Then and Now, and a sticker on the front of the CD's jewel box proclaims, "The greatest hits! The best collection ever! Includes 3 new songs!" The clear implication to the potential buyer is that this Vanilla Fudge album contains the original 1960s recordings of such hits as "You Keep Me Hangin' On," along with three recently recorded tracks.
