The Peppermint Rainbow

'The Peppermint Rainbow' were a bubblegum pop / sunshine pop group from Baltimore, Maryland, known for their close male and female vocals and good-feeling vibe. They formed in 1967 under the name 'New York Times' and played local gigs in the mid-Atlantic states before changing their name to the 'Peppermint Rainbow' in 1968. They were signed to Decca Records at the behest of Cass Elliot, who saw them play and sang with them on-stage when they performed a medley of Mamas & Papas tunes.
