Goodness - Goodness (1976 us, soft easy going art rock with some jazzy moments)



Goodness started in Bronx, New York, formed by Shelly Yarmovsky, Billie Canfield, Bobby Lang, Jay Castelli, Dave Sturdevant and Richie Giannantoni with some help from Mike Rod and Shelly Horn! 

Their first rehearsal was in Harrison N.Y. Presbyterian Church. They played on the beaches of the Hamptons, on the snowy slopes of Hunter Mountain, on the stage of the Princeton U Prom, on the streets of Bronx, before entering the studio to record their one and only album, in the winter 1975-76. 

Nice Harmony laden soft jazzy psych sound with Keyboards, Sax, Flute and Latin Percussion.
