In 1965, four high school musicians in Chicago, Illinois -- bassist Nick Fortuna, guitarist Carl Giammarese, drummer Jon Poulos, and singer/guitarist Dennis Tufano -- formed a band they called The Centuries. They added keyboardist Dennis Miccolis, changed their name to The Pulsations and landed a job as the house band on a local (WGN-TV) variety show. The show's producer suggested they adopt a more "contemporary" (i.e. British) name, and thanks to the suggestion of a security guard at the television station, The Buckinghams were born (the name is also that of a notable Chicago landmark, Buckingham Fountain). In early 1966, the band signed their first record contract with local USA Records and released three singles that year ("I'll Go Crazy," "I Call Your Name," and "I've Been Wrong") which received extensive airplay in Chicago. The Buckinghams gained national exposure with their fourth single, "Kind of a Drag," written by the band's longtime songwriter, Jim Holvay. "Kind of a Drag" raced up the local charts then caught fire nationally, eventually spending two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February, 1967. That single's success also led to a hastily-released album of the band's early recordings. At about this time, the group's contract with USA Records came to an end, and Miccolis was replaced on keyboards by Marty Grebb. The band members were also introduced to producer James William Guercio, who quickly got them a new contract with Columbia (CBS) Records. Although The Buckinghams had already been using a brass section on many of their earlier recordings, Guercio's brass-rock studio work helped to shape the group's signature sound, and the partnership produced four more Top 10 hits in 1967: "Don't You Care" (#6), "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" (#5), "Hey Baby (They're Playing Our Song)" (#10) and "Susan" (#8), (also written by Jim Holvay). The Buckinghams found themselves disagreeing with Guercio on both creative and financial issues, and they found another producer. (Guercio moved on to achieve great success as the producer for Chicago's first 11 albums, as well as for Blood, Sweat & Tears' second album.) This was really the death knell for the band; a drug bust threw them off track, and the musical landscape changed from 1967 to 1968. Although The Buckinghams released several more singles, and arguably their best album ("In One Ear and Gone Tomorrow"), after the break with Guercio, they were unable to duplicate their 1967 success, and the band dissolved in early 1970. Carl Giammarese and Nick Fortuna re-formed The Buckinghams in the 1980s, and the band continues to make appearances in various concert venues throughout the U.S., Canada and overseas. In January 2005 they performed at one of President George W. Bush's Inaugural Balls in Washington, DC. They have a 2007 studio CD release, Reaching Back, that includes eight brand new songs and new recordings of some of their top hits. The current line up has performed together for over 20 years.
