The
Happenings virtually exploded onto the
national charts
in May of 1966 with their first single release, "See
You In September". The song quickly spiraled up
the charts to become an international #1 record throughout the
entire summer. Most recently, Entertainment
Magazine has listed "See You In September" in
the top 100 summer songs of all time! The Happenings,
continuing to become a major force in the music industry, soon
released their next smash hit "Go
Away Little Girl" and hugely successful album
"Bye, Bye, So Long, Farewell".
With Bob Miranda, the lead singer of The Happenings and
the voice that literally spearheaded the group into
international stardom, many great releases were to follow
including the classic hits, "I Got
Rhythm", "My Mammy",
and a virtual treasure chest of hit albums!
In the years to
follow, The Happenings would travel and perform
throughout the United States, Europe, and South America. Their
venues would include large capacity concerts and appearances on
nearly every major television show in America, including: The
Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, The
Smothers Brothers Show, and The
Merv Griffin Show. They would share the stage with such
music and entertainment giants as The
Beach Boys, Roy Orbison,
Joan
Rivers, John Denver,
The
Drifters, The Kingston Trio,
and many more!
Today, the group
consists of three principal members. With Bob
Miranda at the helm, complemented by the outstanding
musical and vocal talents of long standing members Bob
Kulik and George Rizzi, the
group is a powerhouse of nostalgia and contemporary material
that truly captures the classic signature sound that has made The
Happenings a worldwide favorite for 30 years! The
Happenings continue to perform in concert arenas and
major show rooms throughout the country. Their extraordinary
vocal talent and unparalleled showmanship continues to
consistently bring audiences to their feet literally everywhere
they go!
In the words of
Richard Nader,
one of the great concert promoters of all time, "The
incredible sound of The Happenings
is as good
today as it was in the 1960's."
