The Rivieras were a rock and roll group formed in the early 1960s in South Bend, Indiana, United States. They are best known for their hit "California Sun", written by Henry Glover. Despite their background, they popularized their own variety of surf music, with a unique organ-lead sound. The band was also notable for being one of the last American rock and roll bands to top the charts before the British Invasion. After various line-up changes, the band folded in 1966. Since then, there have been various reunions.
History
The Rivieras were made up of teenagers from South Bend Central High School. (This group should not be confused with the Coed Records East coast rhythm & blues group of the same name who had hits in the late 50s and the early 60s.) Originally called the Playmates, they were forced to change their names as there was already a group playing under that name. They decided to rename themselves after the Buick Riviera.
The Rivieras were one of the many groups in America that became part of the "frat rock" movement in the early 1960s. The group had their greatest hit in 1964 with "California Sun", which reached No. 5 on the main US pop music chart. In fact, "California Sun" was one of the last pure American rock-and-roll songs on the Billboard Hot 100chart before the "British Invasion", reaching its peak chart position the same week as the Beatles topped the chart with "I Want to Hold Your Hand".
Sweet, Sweet, and savory are more of an oil and water than I ever thought they could be. We got when the getting was good and now is it all too much? Like t-shirts drying on a clothing line So plain, so consistent. Sun soaked with nothing expected and no hidden costs in return. Your tooth hurts again, and I don't know if they will save it. So would they be shocked to know it could break out home? The end of the month has come again and I don't know if we'll have enough Like T-shirts drying on a clothing line In perfect unconcern to point A to B in our lives between All we are is always juggled so we don't fall cold when it's already so hot. I wanted something simple where unlike your past you'd be at ease in knowing that I was going to make it over Like T-shirts drying on a clothing line with just one string attached to me. It's all I want. nothing dark to hide. Can I stop time this Saturday? Can I stop time now?
