The Mojo Men

The Mojo Men were a rock band that formed in San Francisco, California in the mid-1960s. The band consisted of Jim Alaimo (vocals, guitar), Paul Curcio (vocals, guitar), Jan Errico (drums), and Don Metchick (keyboards). They were known for their unique sound, which blended elements of folk rock, garage rock, and psychedelia.

The Mojo Men first gained attention in 1965 with their debut single, "Dance With Me." The song reached the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and helped establish the band as a promising new act. They followed up with several more hit singles over the next few years, including "She's My Baby," "Sit Down, I Think I Love You," and "Me About You."

Despite their success, The Mojo Men struggled to maintain a stable lineup, with several members coming and going over the years. They also faced competition from other popular San Francisco bands like The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. By the late 1960s, the band's commercial fortunes began to decline, and they eventually disbanded in 1970.

Despite their relatively short career, The Mojo Men had a significant impact on the music scene of the 1960s. They helped to define the "San Francisco Sound" with their distinctive blend of folk, garage, and psychedelic rock, and their catchy songs continue to be played and enjoyed by fans of classic rock today.
