Yes, I remember them. “Incense and Peppermints” was their only hit song. Reportedly, it was on the B side of a record whose A side had a song that was supposed to be a guaranteed hit.

guitar player used a fuzz-tone made by arbiter called a fuzzface. still popular today, and available in any music store. it blew minds at the time. of course, at the time, this was not difficult!
@blunebottleNot true, amigo. When I lived in Florida, I got Red Rose all the time. Unfortunately, I can’t get it in Ecuador, but I do have a couple of the little ceramic figurines, that came in the boxes of tea, proudly displayed on my mantle.
