1)The Toys were discovered at a talent show by manager Vince Marc, who introduced them to songwriters Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell. Linzer and Randell wrote most of the songs recorded by them, including their Number 2 hit single "A Lover's Concerto", and also produced the group's 1965-66 recordings on Bob Crewe's DynoVoice Records record label. The melody of "A Lover's Concerto" is famously based on the "Minuet in G" by Baroque-era composer Christian Petzold. In 1967 the group changed labels and producers, but charted only one more minor single (a cover of Brian Hyland's "Sealed with a Kiss") before breaking up.
At the peak of their popularity The Toys appeared on all of the major TV rock programs, including Shindig!, Hullabaloo, and American Bandstand. They also had a cameo role in the 1967 beach movie It's A Bikini World.

A LOVER'S CONCERTO
The Toys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That falls softly on the meadow?
Birds high up in the trees
Serenade the flowers with their melodies
Oh-oh, see, there beyond the hill
The bright colors of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Now, I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you every part of me
Oh-oh, don't ever make me cry
Through long, lonely nights without love
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally
Someday we shall return
To this place upon the meadow
We'll walk out in the rain
Hear the birds above singing once again
Oh-oh, you hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
The lyrics of A Lover's Concerto by The Toys convey feelings of love and nature that come together to create something magical. The opening lines, "How gentle is the rain / That falls softly on the meadow?" suggest a peaceful and calming mood, setting the stage for the rest of the song. As the birds "serenade the flowers," the colors of the rainbow serve as a backdrop, further emphasizing the beauty and wonder of nature.
The chorus expresses the singer's desire to be loved tenderly and completely, as they pledge to give their lover all of themselves. The verses that follow touch on the fear of losing that love, begging their partner to never make them cry through long, lonely nights without love. The hope is that the love they share will last eternally, with the promise to return to this magical meadow someday.
Overall, the song is a tribute to the natural world and the transformative power of love. It captures the peacefulness and beauty of nature, while simultaneously expressing the deep emotions of human connection.
