Where In The World Is.........Vanity Fare?
Vanity Fare is a UK pop group formed in 1966. They had a few minor British pop hits in their early years, but by 1970 they had successfully crossed the pond and charting hits in America. Ironically, their biggest UK hit, "Early In The Morning", peaked at #12 in the U.S., but their biggest American hit, "Hitchin' A Ride", went as high as #5 but stalled at #16 in Britain.
Following a series of failed singles both here and abroad, the band decided to concentrate on live performing in the mid-70's. The lineup of the band changed constantly, and recording was sporadic. In 1986 they entered the famed Eurovision Song Contest, placing 3rd with a song called "Dreamer".
Vanity Fare remains active on the touring circuit today. You can find out more on the band's official website here.
