The Flower Pot Men were a British pop group created in 1967 as a result of the single "Let's Go to San Francisco", recorded by session musicians, becoming a major UK Top 20 and Continental Europe hit) in the autumn of 1967. The group's sound was characterised by rich, three-part vocal harmonies. Led by vocalist Tony Burrows (who had been in the Ivy League), for a while (though not for recordings) the band also included later Deep Purple members Jon Lord on keyboards and Nick Simper on bass. Lord and Simper left in summer 1968, and Neil Landon left in 1969 to become lead singer of Fat Mattress. The remaining three singers stayed, added new musicians and changed their name to White Plains (who scoring a hit with "My Baby Loves Lovin'" in 1970); the Flower Pot Men dissolving at that point. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/The+Flower+Pot+Men">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
