In 1968 & 1969, The 1910 Fruitgum Company topped the charts with 1-2-3 Red Light, May I Take A Giant Step, Goody Goody Gumdrops, Indian Giver and their signature song , Simple Simon Says. As the story goes, the group was named by guitarist Frank Jeckell, after finding an old gum wrapper while going through a trunk in his attic. The Group came from New Jersey and were the forerunners of the so called Bubblegum Craze. The group has traveled and performed with top acts throughout the country, and at one time toured with the Beach Boys. Their hit recordings were nursery rhymes put to a rock and roll beat, which started a craze enjoyed throughout America and the United Kingdom. Today, along with original members, Frank Jeckell and Floyd Marcus, the group consists of musicians and vocalists dedicated to ensure a great performance for their audience. The group not only performs the The 1910 Fruitgum hits, but performs some of the best songs of the sixties. The 1910 Fruitgum reappeared in the 90's as Al Bundy's favorite group in the Fox TV series Married With Children. Audiences are in for a great time when the The 1910 Fruitgum is in town.
