Vanilla Fudge

I SAW THE FUDGE ay back in the winter of 67 or 68 at Marist High School in Bayonne NJ after the release of their first album. A local band called Unchartered Bus was opening for them and it so happened that Mark Stein and Robert Tepper of the Bus were from Bayonne NJ. The bus were excellent and Tepper went on to score hits with Benny Mardones, Pat Benetar and others before establishig himself with Sylvestor Stalone in "Rocky" with the signature "No Easy Way Out". But I digress. I love the Fudge. "Spirt of 67" was a more tapered sound but equally compelling. Stein never sounded better vocally. And the band sounded fresh and exciting. This leads me to the point of wondering if they have it in them to push the boundaries even further and tackle something "newer." I would love to see what the could do with Nirvana which was always filled with excitement, drama and poetry. Edgy and adventurous. I'll bet it would be a brave new adventure for The Fudge. And an unqualified success. Bayonne Pete (Henderson)

The show was great. Vinnie and Carmine were off the charts. It was great being taken back to my youth.
Thank you Vanilla Fudge for a lifetime of wonderful memories.
