“Lovin’ Spoonful was formed a the end of 1964 by John Sebastian (born on March 17, 1944, in New York City), a Greenwich Village folk music veteran who’d played harmonica on albums by Judy Collins, Tom Rush, and other folkies, and guitarist Zal Yanovsky, a former member of the folk-rock group the Mugwumps (alongside future Mamas & Papas Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty). With Steve Boone on bass and Joe Butler on drums, they named their group from a line in the song Coffee Blues by the great bluesman Mississippi John Hurt, with whom Sebastian had played in the Village” (Steve Sullivan, Encyclopedia of Great Popular Recordings, 2013).
