The Avant-Garde

The Avant-Garde

The Avant-Garde was an American psychedelic pop group formed by Chuck Woolery and Elkin "Bubba" Fowler in 1967. They released three singles on Columbia Records in 1967 and 1968, backed by different session musicians on each release: "Yellow Beads", "Naturally Stoned" (which hit #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in mid 1968) [http://wc07.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:jnfrxqwgldfe~T1 Biography] , Allmusic.com] , and "Fly With Me". Despite the success of "Naturally Stoned", the group disbanded after "Fly With Me" and never released a full album.

After The Avant-Garde, Fowler went on to a career as a folk singer. Columbia released his LP "And Then Came Bubba" in 1970, and he played guitar on albums by Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. Woolery became a game show host, appearing on "Wheel of Fortune", "Scrabble", "Love Connection", "Greed", and "Lingo". "Naturally Stoned" was also used as the theme to a short-lived reality television series on GSN that starred Woolery, entitled "Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned".
