| The Lovin Spoonful had its roots in a bohemian folk group called "The Mugwumps," who played coffee houses and small club (some members of which split to form the Lovin' Spoonful and the Mamas and the Papas). The Lovin' Spoonful was named to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. The band's name was inspired by some lines in a song of Mississippi John Hurt called the "Coffee Blues." The Lovin' Spoonful became part of the American response to the British Invasion. They peppered their songs with peace, love and beautiful girls. Singer John Sebastian was hardly ever seen without his autoharp in hand and they seemed to prefer writing songs about "going fishing" to singing about "life in the fast lane." After a few lineup changes, Sebastian parted ways to start a solo singer-songwriter career, breaking up the band in 1968. He had a hit in 1976 with "Welcome Back," the theme song for the television sitcom Welcome Back |
