When they played under the John Wannamaker eagle in Philly they had little material. The Left Banke ended up playing "Daytripprer" three times. I met Tom years ago at Farfels in Greenwich Village. He was buying his first album because the box of copies he got back in the day was gone. He had left if on a radiator and melted them.

They had something unique about them that you couldn't get in any other beat groups from the 60s, and the closest I can reckon is the Moody Blues

So, tell me if my understanding is correct: Michael Brown, the 16 year old Left Banke drummer wrote "Walk Away Renee". And over time all band members have taken a writers credit for the song.
@johnkratus490011 ай бұрын
Michael Brown was the singular talent of this group, writing “Walk Away Renee” and “Pretty Ballerina.” These guys didn’t want Michael in the group, and they were no-talent quasi-musicians.

The Left Banke would be nothing with Michael Brown and Steve Martin. They were the heart and soul of the Left Banke. The rest of the band stopped Michael Brown from performing under the name Left Banke, but the same people who sued Brown now perform his songs without him.

I met Steve on the corner of 52nd St. & 7th Ave. in 1965. We started singing right away. It was great fun, and his voice was really great, he could hit high notes very well. I met George in late '64 at a show we were both doing. George's group had shoulder length hair and the girls just screamed their heads off. I said omg, longhair is a must. George & I became friends and we stayed in touch. I love talk about Michael Brown soon••••• I loved these guys like brothers.

Thank you for sharing; those were such great times for us “oldies but goody’s” now. The Left Banke were so unique - you were a wonderful group - wish so much my friends and I could have seen you back in concert then. I want to ask, do you know of any live performances that were filmed back in 60’s (besides that American Bandstand one in the park? ) I can’t find anything, and have really looked. Thank you for the music! 🎈🦋🌹May God bless.

Why does everything have to be down to one or two members? Of course Michael Brown was a massively important part of the Left Banke but suggesting that the other members weren't also important is nuts. The Left Banke's garage naivety was just as crucial to their sound as their classical smarts. And while I love both their 60s albums, if I had to pick one, it would be the second one.
