Warm Sounds
Warm Sounds was an English musical duo, consisting of Denver Gerrard and Barry Younghusband, and later adding John Carr.[1] They are considered a one hit wonder for their hit single, "Birds and Bees", from 1967.[2] However they had an "airplay hit" follow up with "Sticks and Stones" in August 1967.[1] This track did not make it into the BBC chart, but was climbing the Radio London Fab 40 when the station closed on 15 August, and had risen to number 9 in the final chart.[3] The group existed from 1967 to 1968 before disbanding.[4]
Toward the end of their career, the duo mixed heavily overdubbed and experimental psychedelic tapes. Carr and Husband later joined the band, Hapshash and the Coloured Coat.[1]
