This sunshiny day-glo gem is reminiscent of the lush, yet trippy studio
wizardry of Sagittarius and the mind bending delights of Smile-era
recordings
This new reissue of Yellow Balloon contains 16 tracks, including the complete
stereo album & singles from '60s TV superstar Don Grady! A songwriting
assignment from Dean Torrence led to a rich musical career for Los Angeles pop
genius Gary Zekley. Zekley - a man whose body of work stands up to any of the
precocious Brill Building bunch from fve years earlier - originally penned the song
"Yellow Balloon" for Jan and Dean, but also recorded the tune himself. When
Zekley's version went into the Top Thirty in April of 1967, he assembled a band,
called the Yellow Balloon (natch), with the likes of lead singer Alex Valdez and the
multi- talented drummer/ vocalist Don Grady, already a TV superstar as Robbie
Macmurray's oldest kid on My Three Sons. This reissue of Yellow Balloon
contains 16 tracks, including the complete original stereo album.
