The Yellow Balloon



The Yellow Balloon was an American pop band produced by Gary Zekley. The group is notable for featuring Don Grady (sometimes billed as "Luke R. Yoo") who played Robbie Douglas on "My Three Sons". Other band members were Alex Valdez (lead singer), Frosty Green (keyboards), Don Braught (bass guitar), and Paul Canella (lead guitar). The band at one time also included Daryl Dragon, later the male half of The Captain & Tennille. The Yellow Balloon released multiple singles, but only charted once with "Yellow Balloon", which peaked at #25 in June 1967. The 1967 album self-titled LP, released on Canterbury Records, included the hit single "Yellow Balloon" along with two songs co-written by former The Mamas & the Papas singer Jill Gibson.
