Edison Lighthouse
The formula "feel-good music" hit sound created with that smash proved to be so successful that the Edison crew recorded other material under other group names which duplicated the sensation of their first hit together. As White Plains, their single of "My Baby Loves Lovin'" reached # 13 in the US and # 9 in the UK. Under the moniker of "The Brotherhood Of Man," their "United We Stand" reached #13 in the US and # 1 in England in 1970. In fact, all these records ("Love Grows," "My Baby Loves Lovin'" and "United We Stand") charted between January and May of 1970 prompting a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records for most singles charted simultaneously under different group names containing the same artists. In addition to these lasting accomplishments, the group also recorded two other hits "She Works In A Woman's Way" and "It's Up To You Petula" which both charted top 5 in Japan and top 60 the US in 1971 under the Edison Lighthouse name. Original member Les Fradkin has assembled a new version of Edison Lighthouse which has amazed audiences throughout 2001 and continues to do so throughout 2002. Featuring Les Fradkin on (Lead Vocals / Keyboards / Guitar) along with Joe Rotondo (Vocals / Drums), Dave Stalheim (Vocals / Bass) and Dave Drynan (Vocals / Guitar), Edison Lighthouse now enjoys even greater success with the dramatic inclusion of "Love Grows" in the soundtrack of the brand new smash hit motion picture "Shallow Hal.” Les' exciting Edison Lighthouse show features 20 "one-hit wonder" hits that Les has performed on including "Love Grows," "My Baby Loves Lovin'" and "Smile A Little Smile," plus new material from the brand new Edison Lighthouse CD "The Soundtrack Of Your Youth.”
