Has anyone ever heard of The Lemon Drops..... They were a 60s rock group, The first and only Boy Band From Wonder Lake, IL. They wrote and produced I Live in the Springtime in 1967. The Lemon Drops were Jeff Brandt (bass), Bobby Lunack (rhythm guitar), Gary Weiss (drums), Eddie Weiss (rhythm guitar), and Danny Smola (vocals), who began rehearsing in the Weiss home when they were between 14 and 17 years old. With lead guitarist Ricky Erickson in tow and later an official member, they cut their first record, I Live In the Springtime, for Rembrandt, a local label co-owned by one of the Weisses elder siblings. I Live in the Springtime got an enthusiastic reception locally, and was played as far away as New York. The bandmembers became celebrities among the local kids when they were thrown out of school for their long hair. By that time, they were on their second single, the angry anti-Vietnam rocker It Happens Everyday, and soon after had a new lead singer, Dick Sidman. youtube/watch?v=mUJHY-KGDTE
