Bermuda Triangle started out as a group called Roger And Wendy, who got together in the late '60s in Greenwich Village, typically playing in pass-the-basket-for-tips coffeehouses and folk clubs, such as Gerde's Folk City, (where they headlined for 33 weeks in 1970, setting a club record), the Cafe Wha?, the Bitter End, the Cafe Au Go Go, The Gaslight Cafe, The Freudian Slip, The Basement Cafe, and Kenny's Castaways. Performing at first without microphones, they developed an energized psychedelic folk style with just an electrified autoharp and fast-pulse bass guitar, and their music quickly evolved from traditional ballads to electric folk, including psych folk, acid freak folk and rock. Roger and Wendy took the stage names Roger Becket and Wendy Becket when they had become involved with the Theater Company of Boston, and then in several off-Broadway plays. They kept these pseudonyms through much of their musical career, including while in Bermuda Triangle, before returning to their original surname of Penney. They released two albums, 'Bermuda Triangle' in 1977 and 'Bermudas II' in 1984, but some unreleased recordings have recently come to light, and so I've taken the best of them to compile their third album, now called 'Come Sail Away'.

ReplyDeleteI assume they covered it, and that Styx didn't steal it from them...
I thought I knew this, but couldn't think who it was by. It is a cover, by the way.
DeleteI thought as much, it's just that it's arranged in such a different way than the Styx original, I kept being frustrated that I swore "I knew this song" LOL
