The Mojo Men

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mojo Men were a rock music band, inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, that recorded for the Autumn Records label in San Francisco, California, U.S.. One of their minor hits, 1965's "Dance With Me", and a number of other records, were produced by Sylvester Stewart, later better known as Sly Stone.

Their only Top 40 hit was their cover version of a Stephen Stills' song he wrote and sang for Buffalo Springfield. It was entitled "Sit Down, I Think I Love You", released in March 1967, and featured a new member, Jan Ericco/Ashton, a female vocalist/drummer who had defected from another San Francisco band, The Vejtables. According to The Book of Top 40 Hits by Joel Whitburn, "Sit Down, I Think I Love You" was on the Top 40 for three weeks and peaked at number 36. Whitburn failed to include Jan Ericco's name with the other members.
