8. Summer of love: The Sons of Champlin: Shades of Grey The Sons of Champlin are from the San Francisco-Bay area. They are fronted by vocalist/keyboardist/guitarist Bill Champli. The band performed regularly at the San Francisco venues, the Avalon Ballroom and the Fillmore West. They shared billing with, among many others, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Country Joe and the Fish, and The Youngbloods. They were also the opening act at The Bands first concert at which they used the name The Band, along with The Ace of Cups. Shades of Gray was written in 1965 by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and was recorded by The Monkees for their 1967 album Headquarters. Sons of Champlin recorded the song at about the same time, but the Headquarters version was released first. youtu.be/5aprARi_rB8
