Psychedelic pop group The Lemon Pipers formed in 1966. The group consisted of students from Oxford, Ohio, who were already familiar with the music scene there, each having been a part of other bands before joining The Lemon Pipers.
They signed on with Buddah Records and eventually recorded an album that didn't make the charts. Buddah asked their producer, Paul Leka, to write a song for them to record and "Green Tambourine" was born. It reached #1 on Billboard in February 1968 and eventually sold more than two million copies.
The band's only other song to chart, "Rice Is Nice," peaked at #46.
