Lovin' Spoonful - Voice Your Choice Treasure Island Oldies

There's a very interesting connection between The Lovin' Spoonful and The Mamas and The Papas that began in Greenwich Village in New York City. The Spoonful's John Sebastian, along with guitarist Zal Yanovsky from Kingston, Ontario, were part of The Mugwumps. Also in that group were Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty, who was from Halifax, Nova Scotia. They ended up going their separate ways, and Cass and Denny formed The Mamas and The Papas.

John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky formed The Lovin' Spoonful with drummer Jan Carl and Steve Boone on bass. For more on the history of both groups, check out The Mamas and The Papas hit Creeque Alley, below.

Treasure Island Oldies is pleased to present The Lovin' Spoonful in the Voice Your Choice spotlight. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Darling Be Home Soon or Do You Believe In Magic. I'll play the winning song on next week's show.
