The Story

Formed1964OriginUnited StatesGenrerock music

Picture a raucous garage party, the air thick with energy as the catchy strains of "I Want Candy" fill the room. The Strangeloves, a unique concoction of rock music masterminds hailing from the U.S., turned heads with their playful persona and infectious melodies. Conceived by the talented trio of Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer, these musical innovators spun a delightful web of sound while cheekily claiming to be Australian. Beyond their irresistible hit "I Want Candy," they also delivered gems like "Cara-Lin" and "Night Time," capturing the essence of youthful exuberance. Their knack for blending catchy hooks with a touch of whimsy left an indelible mark on the rock landscape, inviting listeners to revel in the sweet nostalgia of carefree days and unforgettable tunes.
