- Q389922 abstract "This page refers to "The Happenings" music band. For other uses, see HappeningsThe Happenings were a pop music group that originated in the 1960s. Members of the original group, created in 1965, all hailed from Paterson, New Jersey, and consisted of Bob Miranda, David Libert, Tom Giuliano and Ralph DiVito. In 1968 DiVito was replaced by Bernie LaPorta, and Lenny Conforti also joined to play drums in the touring band. Both LaPorta and Conforti took a hiatus from the northern New Jersey band The Emerald Experience to play and tour with The Happenings. That lineup performed mostly at colleges and universities until 1970, when Libert left the band to manage other groups, including George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic, Living Colour, Brian Auger, Vanilla Fudge, The Runaways (Cherie Currie, Joan Jett, Lita Ford), Mother's Finest, Alice Cooper and Evelyn "Champagne" King.The band's original concept, and most of its commercial success came as a cover band. According to Miranda, the group's plan was to "take a song that's already proven it could be a hit and put our spin on it". They later wrote some of their own songs.The group's major hits were "See You In September" (1966), which was originally recorded by the Tempos in 1959, and a cover version of the George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin song, "I Got Rhythm" (1967), updated for the group's sunshine pop musical style. "See You In September" and "I Got Rhythm" were on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles charts for 14 weeks in 1966 and 13 weeks in 1967, respectively, forming musical bookends for the 1966-1967 school year, based on their Hot 100 #3 peak dates. Both disc sales exceeded one million copies, resulting in R.I.A.A. gold record awards by 1969.The group had nine Billboard Hot 100 Singles hits from 1967 to 1968, including versions of "Go Away Little Girl" (#12) (a #1 hit for Steve Lawrence in 1962 and later for Donny Osmond in 1971) and "My Mammy" (#13) (popularized by Al Jolson in the 1920s). They also both achieved sales in excess of one million copies, garnering the group another couple of gold records. "Hare Krishna," a version of a song from the musical Hair (1969), was the group's last Hot 100 hit.The band continues to perform with lead singer Miranda as the only remaining original member. The group occasionally on cruise ships performs Frankie Valli songs and "Runaround Sue", as well as their original material.LaPorta was a music teacher in the North Arlington, NJ school district until the 2006-2007 school year, when he retired from his position. He now performs with Joe Zisa & Friends "Jersey Tribute" with Joe Zisa, Sal Sellitto, Lenny Conforti, Dennis Oricchio, and Tommy Bialoglow of The Duprees.Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, "See You In September" was listed in a memo containing 150 songs that radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications suggested to be pulled from the airwaves - despite the fact that the song is about two lovers saying goodbye for the summer, and has nothing to do with terrorism (the suggestion to remove the song was apparently solely based on the mention of the month of September in the lyrics).".
