Shango (rock group)

Shango (rock group)

Shango was a rock quartet in the late 1960s, led by Tommy Reynolds, later of Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, which included actor Stuart Margolin.

Shango's best-known recording was a 1969 song, a modest novelty hit called "Day After Day" from their self-titled album Shango. It mocked contemporary doomsday predictions that California was destined to be destroyed (presumably "very soon") by an earthquake. It was sung in a Calypso style:

:"Day after day":"More people come to L.A.":"Shh! Don't you tell them that":"The whole placing is slippin' away"

It was later adapted into a car ad:

:"Day after day":"More people drive Chevrolet"...
