Now let's get down to business!
Originally a teenage a cappella group from New York, the all-female trio The Cake formed in 1966 and recorded two full-length albums before calling it quits in '68. The group wrote and recorded much of their own material which consists mostly of baroque pop numbers and more soulful ballads like "You Can Have Him" (in the video below) and even shared a manager/producer with Sonny & Cher.
Notice Jeanette Jacobs (in green and on the left) acting a little out of it? Admittedly a bit strange, especially for this archival performance footage from 1967, but the only explanation I've read for Jacobs' seemingly detached mannerisms was that she suffered from epilepsy and was possibly heavily medicated at the time. Read more about The Cake's swift and overlooked rise and fall within the 60s rock and roll scene here if you like.
