Johnny, Gil and Bobby  (FM): 

Johnny, Gil and Bobby were a singing Folk Trio in the early 1960s. The band consisted of Johnny Marsi (Lead Vocals), Bobby "Ziggy" Andriani (First Tenor) and Gilbert Rivera (Second Tenor). The story goes when opening for the Beach Boys in Long Island, New York. Johnny, Gil and Bobby sang the song "Sloop John B". Shortly after The Beach Boys, inspired by the song went into the studio and recorded their own version of the song. Interestingly Mama Cass's group The Big Three also recorded on the FM label. The groups  "Banjo Song" some have said was the inspiration for Shocking Blue's smash hit "Venus".
