The 1910 Fruitgum Company, an American bubblegum pop band, originated in New Jersey in 1965. The group initially formed as Jeckell and the Hydes, with original members Frank Jeckell, Mark Gutkowski, Floyd Marcus, Pat Karwan, and Steve Mortkowitz. In 1967, they signed to Buddah Records and released their debut single "Simon Says", which reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. The band's success continued with hits such as "May I Take a Giant Step" (US number 63), "1, 2, 3, Red Light" (US number five), "Special Delivery" (US number 38), "Goody, Goody Gumdrops" (US number 37), "Indian Giver" (US number five), and "The Train" (US number 57). Their first album, Simon Says, was released in 1968, followed by Indian Giver in April 1969. The band toured extensively, opening for major acts like the Beach Boys. Notable achievements include "Simon Says" selling three and a half million copies, and both "1, 2, 3, Red Light" and "Indian Giver" each selling over one million copies, all awarded gold discs. The original group disbanded in 1970. In 1999, Frank Jeckell and Mick Mansueto reformed the act, who continue to perform their own hits along with other songs from the 1960s.
