Crazy Elephant was a studio concoction, created by Jerry Kasenetz and Jeff Katz of Super K Productions. Ex-Cadillac member Robert Spencer was widely utilized on lead vocals, though future 10cc member Kevin Godley took lead vocals on "There Ain't No Umbopo", recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport, England, and released on the Bell Records label in May 1970. A touring group was formed later for promotional purposes. The bassist on "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'" was Gary Gaynor, a local studio musician.
Crazy Elephant's "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'" (b/w "The Dark Part of My Mind") was a transatlantic one-hit wonder, making #12 both on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the UK Singles Chart. Several follow-up singles, including "Gimme Some More" (b/w "My Baby (Honey Pie")) and "Sunshine Red Wine" (b/w "Pam"), failed to chart.
The band also released Crazy Elephant, a self-titled album, in 1970, featuring:
* Robert Spencer (vocals)
* Kenny Cohen (flute, sax vocals), who later performed with The Eagles, Santana, Rod Stewart and B. B. King
* Bob Avery (drums), who also played with The Music Explosion
* Larry Laufer (keyboards, vocals)
* Hal King (vocals)
* Ronnie Bretone (bass)

Been listening to this since since 1968! My first concert was Crazy Elephant at the Felt Forum NYC. That's because my late cousin Ronnie Bretone was the bassist. I'm still in touch with Bobby "Avery" Tousignant. Still love this!!! :)

This has got such a "groovy" late 60s feel to it--if it wasn't a hit it should have been
