Yellow Balloon - - - - - The Yellow Balloon

The Yellow Balloon was an American sunshine pop band, produced by Gary Zekley. The group is notable for featuring Don Grady (sometimes billed as "Luke R. Yoo") of Mouseketeers and My Three Sons fame. Other band members hailed from Oregon and Arizona. They were led by Alex Valdez (lead singer), and included Frosty Green (keyboards), Don Braught (bass guitar), and Paul Canella (lead guitar). The band at one time also included Daryl Dragon, later the male half of Captain & Tennille.
The Yellow Balloon released multiple singles, including Billboard Magazine Pop 100 #25 hit "Yellow Balloon" and "Good Feelin' Time". and one album.
The 1967 album self-titled LP, released through Canterbury Records, included the hit single "Yellow Balloon" along with two songs co-written by former The Mamas & the Papas singer Jill Gibson. The album was re-released in 1998 as a CD by Sundazed Music, including all eleven songs from the original album, a few songs Grady released as singles, a demo, and a Zekley recorded interview conducted by the music historian Domenic Priore.

Pehaps the only song title in history as the album's name AND on the single AND as the band's name!

[RonaldVaughan]

As I write this it's time to hear this song again....a "rainy afternoon" in Los Angeles,California,U.S.A......­...........Did you add the sound FX?

WHAT A GREAT ALL-TIME SONG. Thanks for additional band details. I've never seen that before.

[kennyddd1]

medioric bubblegum at best.  Still its always nice to hear something we havent heard in decades no matter how bad it is

[Photorayyy]

Haven't heard this for at least 30 years. What a treat.

[RonaldVaughan]

Anybody who read the old "Mickey Mouse Club" Magazine [a publication severely

ahead of its time!] could find Don Grady's real name....Don Agrati [Italian?].

Thanks for this classic song...and the cute "rain" sound effects! :)
