The Mugwumps (band)

An album by the band went unreleased until 1967, when some of its former members had become famous in the Mamas and the Papas (Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty) and the Lovin' Spoonful (Zal Yanovsky and John Sebastian).

[4] Jim Hendricks and Cass Elliot, alongside Tim Rose, were members of a folk group called the Big 3, which saw some success in New York and landed several television appearances.

[3] Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty went on to form the Mamas & the Papas with Michelle and John Phillips (who told the story of the Mugwumps in their song "Creeque Alley").

John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky, meanwhile, formed the Lovin' Spoonful,[13] who released a number of hit albums and singles, including the chart-topping "Summer in the City".

Hendricks later formed the band The Lamp of Childhood, and eventually found more success as a songwriter, writing the Johnny Rivers hit "Summer Rain" and the theme song for the television series Then Came Bronson.
