Hello People

Late-’60s concept music group Hello People was come up with by NY maker Lew Futterman. Basing his idea on French mime movies, Futterman assembled several Ohio musicians to create in the group, dressed up in complete face color and carrying out wordless mime routines between their tunes throughout their live units. The 1st lineup from the music group contains guitarist and vocalist W.S. Tongue, bassist Greg Geddes, keyboardist Larry Tasse, drummer Ronnie Blake, guitarist Bobby Sedita, and flute participant Michael Sagarese. Dealing with stage titles like “Goodfellow” and “A LOT MORE,” the music group was created and documented its debut, self-titled recording in 1967. In 1968, Blake remaining the group, to become changed by George Abruzzese. Soon after the discharge of their initial record, Tongue also still left the music group, tired of the life span of executing and opting rather to become full-time songwriter. He was changed by vocalist/guitarist Pete Weston another album, Fusion, found its way to 1968. Fusion highlighted “Anthem,” a tune compiled by Tongue about his period spent in jail for draft dodging. The tune was a local strike in Ohio briefly, before it had been abruptly banned because of its questionable cultural commentary. The music group played out frequently without ever credit scoring popular record, including shows on network tv shows just like the Smothers Brothers and Johnny Carson’s Tonight Present. Another lineup change discovered N.D. Wise overtaking as drummer around once the music group relocated to LA in the first ’70s. Another record surfaced in 1971 entitled PERHAPS YOU HAVE Seen the Light, as well as the music group played displays with comedians such as for example George Carlin and Richard Pryor before putting your signature on on within Todd Rundgren’s touring group for a while. Ultimately, Weston and Sagarese still left Hello People, as well as the quartet edition of the music group would continue to record albums The Good-looking Devils, Homemade with Teac, Bricks, and Shed at Ocean before dissolving in the middle-’70s.
