Yellow Balloon

I've always liked this record, "Yellow Balloon" by The Yellow Balloon. I remember reading an article about it one time in a music magazine, maybe Goldmine, something like that.

There's probably more information about it online, as to the producer's actual name, etc., and circumstances of the session. I remember there was a rumor that one of the guys from "My Three Sons" (which I didn't watch) had something to do with it.

It's one of the prettiest songs I remember. There's another version of it by Jan and Dean on a Columbia Records 45.

A very happy sound. Taking its place in the pantheon of great Yellows, "Mellow Yellow" and "Yellow Balloon," and of course "Old Yeller."
