JOHN FRED AND HIS PLAYBOY BAND
Records are not for sale - For your viewing pleasure only
American band, John Fred and the Playboys, was formed in 1956 when Fred was 15; their first charting single was March 1959's "Shirley".
Dick Clark asked him to sing on American Bandstand, Fred had to turn him down because he had to play in a basketball game. By 1967,
the band was renamed John Fred & His Playboy Band (to avoid confusion with Gary Lewis & the Playboys) and Fred and band member
Andrew Bernard co-wrote "Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)", whose name is a parodic play on the title of The Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".
It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. Only after years of struggles did Fred obtain full legal rights to "Judy in Disguise" and its royalties.
In 2004, Fred's health began to fail and after receiving a kidney transplant, complications ensued which culminated in a long hospital stay in New Orleans until he died on April 14, 2005 at the age of 63.
