The Peppermint Rainbow

American sunshine pop group from Baltimore, Maryland. They formed in 1967 under the name New York Times, and played local gigs in the mid-Atlantic states before changing their name 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 & The Papas tunes.
Under Decca the group was produced by Paul Leka. Their first single was Walking In Different Circles b/w Pink Lemonade, but it did not chart. Their second single Will You Be Staying After Sunday, hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #32 in 1969. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. Their third single, Don't Wake Me Up in the Morning, Michael, hit #54 the same year. Their lone LP barely missed the Top 100 of the album charts, peaking at #106, and in 1970 the band split up.
