930 Fred Neil “The Dolphins” 1966

“Neil started his music career in 1955 when he moved from St. Petersburg to Memphis, Tenn…The singer became a cult favorite in New York City’s Greenwich Village folk scene after Roy Orbison released a blues recording of Neil’s ‘Candyman’ in 1960. The following year, a young Bob Dylan joined Neil on stage during a show at a Greenwich Village nightclub. Some of Neil’s other big-name fans in that era included musicians John Sebastian, Paul Kantner, Richie Havens, David Crosby and Stephen Stills. Neil moved to Miami’s Coconut Grove district after releasing his first solo album, ‘Bleecker & MacDougal,’ in 1965. While in South Florida, Neil took an interest in protecting dolphins and frequently visited Kathy, the star of television show ‘Flipper’” (The Associated Press State & Local Wire, 9 July 2001).
