“Mongoose” #50 10/17/1970

The group Elephant’s Memory doesn’t even qualify as a one-hit wonder, as none of their singles made the Top 40. No, they’re best remembered as John and Yoko’s backup band for a couple of years when those two first moved to NYC. The Allmusic website, in addition to describing them as sounding kind of ragged, notes that Carly Simon was part of the group for about six months. Luckily, she would go on to much bigger things. I don’t think Carly appears on this particular record.
