After the W.C.P.A.E.B.:

This is just a short summary. Read the full history (see menu below) for more details:

Friends Michael Lloyd recorded a superb album The Smoke in 1968. He became Vice President of A&R Records, aged 20! in 1969. He produced Lou Rawls hit 'A Natural Man', and later The Osmonds ('Crazy Horses'), Shaun Cassidy, etc.

Michael recorded an LP in 1973 (SE 4901) as "Friends", along with two Australians Darryl Cotton and Steve Kipner (ex-Tin Tin). The album was pulled by MGM when he and Mike Curb left the label.
His greatest success came with the 1987 film 'Dirty Dancing', for which he acted as musical supervisor, producer and co-writer.
 
Shaun Harris Shaun Harris released a solo album on Capitol in 1973 ("Shaun Harris", Capitol - ST11168) that featured his brother in a more country-rock setting. Later he became president of Barry Manilow's publishing company. In recent years he has taken up the cause of standards in education in Oregon.

Dan Harris Danny Harris released a religious tinged solo album in 1980 ("Thank Him Every Day", Azure - KM 6846/ AZ 8003). Later he moved to Sweden where he worked as an alcohol and drugs councellor. He is now writing a book about his experiences in the band and beyond.
 
Electric Prunes Ron Morgan initially became a member of Three Dog Night, but never got to share in their success. Later he joined the Electric Prunes (album: Just Good Rock And Roll). After that things went down-hill. He became a cab driver, janitor, had a motorcycle accident, a divorce and was diagnosed with Hepatites C.
He died in 1989 at 44.
 
Bongo Bob Bob Markley apparently produced an album for J.J.Light, and finally vanished from the music scene. Things went down-hill for him too in a most dramatical way. Rumors are that he spend time in a mental asylum, but eventually he died in 2003.

No matter what has been said and/or written about Bob Markley and his "musical talents", Bob was an important member of the band. Without Bob, the WCPAEB would have sounded different (the name of the band to start with...). No doubt, the talents of Michael, Shaun and Danny overshadow the talents (if any) of Bob Markley. But in a way, the 'weirdness' of Markley's input has been an intrinsic part of the WCPAEB-sound.







Every song in this album has been written, arranged, sung
and played by the group. No one censored us. We got to say
everything we wanted to say, in the way we wanted to say it.
Bob Markley.
