A couple paralells here.
I can't remember if Feelin Groovy was from 1967 or 68 but Could
Harpers Bizarre be to Paul Simon "Feeling Groovy" as Peter Paul and
Mary are to John Denver "Leaving On A Jet Plane" as acts who brought
other singer/songwriters into the mainstream?

IMHO Simon & Garfunkel went mainstream when Phil Spector (I think it
was) took the original folky "The Sound of Silence" and laid a rock
beat -- well, "under" it probably isn't the right word. That was in
1965, I think. The new version of the song was a hit in the US but not
in the UK until Harpers Bizarre covered it in 1967. Their version hit
in the US, too.

Don't forget The Beau Brummelstones

Actually, it was Columbia staff producer Tom Wilson who "electrified" "The
Sound of Silence".

Harpers Bizarre were highly underrated IMHO. After a period of performing in
the Santa Barbara, CA, area as The Tikis, they changed the group name to Harpers
Bizarre for the single recording of "The 59th Street Bridge Song" to avoid
confusion with another recording group called The Tikis and because the
arrangement was such a departure from their usual Tikis style, and they didn't
want to turn off their regular Santa Barbara fans. But the song was a hit and
led to a contract with Warner Bros.
Ted Templeman - lead vocals, guitar, drums
Dick Scoppettone - lead vocals, guitar, bass
Eddie James - lead guitar
Dick Yount - bass, vocals
John Petersen - drums, percussion, vocals
Harpers Bizarre recorded a total of five albums, although all of the above group
members were involved in only the first two:
1 - Feelin' Groovy - Warner Bros. 1693 (1967)
2 - Anything Goes - Warner Bros. 1716 (1967)
3 - The Secret Life of Harpers Bizarre - Warner Bros. 1739 (1968) - Minus Eddie
James
4 - Harpers Bizarre 4 - Warner Bros. 1784 (1969) - Minus Eddie James
5 - As Time Goes By - The Forest Bay Company DS 7545 (1976) - Minus Ted
