Biography:
White Plains produced several hit songs, including 1970's "My Baby Loves Lovin'", and 1971's "When You Are A King" (number 13 on the UK Singles Chart) that was translated to Hebrew and sung by the israel singer Shlomo Artzi. The group, formed out of the late 1960s pop/psychedelic band The Flower Pot Men, kept changing their line-up during its relatively short existence. Tony Burrows, who sang on most of the group's charting hits, was the band's original lead singer.
