Biography:
A band with three rarely heard 45s and little chart action, but there's a lot more to the story of the Myddle Class than the releases suggest. The came out of suburban New Jersey, originally calling themselves the King Bees, but changing to the Myddle Class after a New York band called the King Bees had a release on RCA. Five eighteen-year-olds: Dave Palmer lead singer, Rick Philp guitar, Danny Mansolino organ, Charles Larkey bass and Myke Rosa on drums.

Yet another huge hit in Albany, NY (#2 on WPTR during the summer of '66)
but apparently nowhere else. This adaptation of an old gospel number
(the Blues Project did essentially the same song as 'Wake Me, Shake Me')
was recorded by the New York-based Myddle Class and appeared on Goffin
and King's short-lived Tomorrow label. Singer David Palmer went on to
a brief tenure with the early Steely Dan lineup; bassist Charles Larkey
married Carole King.
