In early 1965 as the "British invasion" dominated the American music scene, two rockers from Long Island, Steve Boone and Joe Butler, teamed up with two folkies from Greenwich Village, John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky, to form the Lovin' Spoonful and go on to record and perform some of the songs that would dominate the charts and establish them among the greats of the mid-sixties era.
In 1991 a long awaited settlement with their record company inspired Joe and Steve to contact Jerry (to replace Zal Yanovsky) and start up the Lovin' Spoonful again. After a two month rehearsal in the Berkshire Mts., the group started touring anew, visiting over 150 cities and countries worldwide and reaching out to a whole new audience in addition to those that have enjoyed their music over the years.
The Lovin' Spoonful, were inducted into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on March 6, 2000. Best known for their Top Ten hits, "Summer in the City," "Daydream," and "Do You Believe in Magic?,"
