Hi Cousins!
The Buckinghams had an amazing 1967 – their music rolled out of Chicago seemingly unstoppable. “Kind of a Drag”, “Don’t You Care”, “Hey Baby” , “Susan”and “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”.
They sold millions of records and established themselves as Chicago’s Sunshine Rock Band. According to several Music Trade publications, The Buckinghams “We’re the most listened to Band in America in 1967”.
Founding member Carl Giammarese will visit the Cuz this Saturday April 30th and discuss the amazing and complicated history of this successful Band…
It all started with the original Band members winning a local Battle of the Bands contest and then became instrumental (no pun intended) helping to create The Chicago Rock Sound. Carl Giammarese and The Buckinghams continue to entertain International audiences with their concerts and their appearances with The Happy Together tour.
Join Carl and the Cuz for another Special visit on WABC MusicRadio.
