"Happy"
THE BLADES OF GRASS
Presentamos en este single las primeras grabaciones de «THE BLADES OF GRASS», un grupo que recientemente causó gran admiración en toda Norteamérica al situar la canción "HAPPY" entre los diez discos más vendidos en los EE. UU.
El grupo lo componen Bruce Ames; guitarra rítmica y cantante; Marc Black, guitarra solista; Frank Di Chiara, bajo y Dave Gordon, batería. Ninguno sobrepasa los diecinueve años. Sus ídolos: Los Young Rascals, Los Beatles... ¿Sus deportes favoritos? ¡Las chicas! Sueñan con el éxito y por el momento han logrado la parte quizá más difícil: triunfar en EE. UU. Sus productores, Steve y Bill Jerome, fueron, asimismo, productores del gran éxito de The Fifth Estate "¡Ding, dong, la bruja está muerta!"
Indeed, the group's first hit single "Happy" went head-to- head in a chart battle with LA's Sunshine Company. Although The Blades' version with it's vocal phasing and psychy effect-laden intro and outro, somewhat had the edge stylistically.

From Rochester, NY, one of the later signings to legendary New York Doo-Wop label Jubilee Records; The Blades Of Grass were one of the prime east coast exponents (along with The Free Design) of that usually West coast genre of Sunshine Pop. It's complex, baroque harmonies and optimistic atmosphere having a much overlooked but firm second front in the city that never sleeps.Indeed, the group's first hit single "Happy" went head-to- head in a chart battle with LA's Sunshine Company.
