Gary U.S. Bonds

As America’s baby boomers moved into their mid teens, Gary began his professional career. For his first hit, “New Orleans”, attention was brought to the record by having promotional copies sent to radio stations in sleeves inscribed “Buy U.S. Bonds” – hence at age 19, Gary Anderson became Gary U.S. Bonds.

The follow-up was the now legendary ‘party’ record, “Quarter to Three”, a number one hit with a spirit and energy that would eventually inspire and influence a generation.
