The Peels - 1966 - Juanita Banana @320

 


The Peels

Studio group assembled by producer Tash Howard, consisting of Gail Allan (22), Bill Spilka (25) and Harvey Davis (23) and Harold Swart (28) (pictured on right).

It was Tash Howard’s intent to have the band perform a (potential hit) song which he and Murray Kenton had written, with him/his production company (Howard-Smith Productions) producing.

The song ended up being the cult 1966 hit 'Juanita Banana / Fun'.

A couple of follow up singles were quickly released, as was a "cash-in" LP (named Juanita Banana), but the single's success was not to be repeated, and soon after the LP's release, the Peels disappeared.
