Two other lesser-known groups on the Easy Rider soundtrack.
LA's ELECTRIC PRUNES were somewhat better known on the basis of their top 11 hit, "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)" and follow-up " Get Me to the World on Time" which peaked at #27. I always thought their big hit was titled "I Had Too Much to Drink (Last Night)" Well, that's what it sounded like.
Their third album, 1968's "Mass in F Minor" was a psychadelicized mass. "Kyrie Eleison" from it was used in the movie "Easy Rider" for the drug-fueled Mardi Gras sequence.
The FRATERNITY OF MAN was a blues/psychadelic rock band from the 1960s who broke up after recording two albums. Members were from or later joined the Mothers of Invention, Little Feat, and Captain Beefheart.
They were most famous for their song "Don't Bogart Me" which was used on the "Easy Rider" movie.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
