Sunshine pop cult favorites Eternity s Children were formed in Cleveland, MS, in 1965 by singer/keyboardist Bruce Blackman and drummer Roy Whittaker, fellow students at Delta College. With the addition of lead guitarist Johnny Walker, rhythm guitarist Jerry Bounds, and bassist Charlie Ross, the group originally dubbed the Phantoms began developing the complex, overlapping vocal harmonies that remained the hallmark of their sound throughout their career.

Although the presence of producer Curt Boettcher guarantees comparisons to like-minded but more commercially successful acts like the Association and Sagittarius, Eternity s Children s lush, overlapping harmonies were all their own, and their songs cut an impressive swath of stylistic territory, from the gorgeous, bossa nova-like My Happiness Day to cuts like Mrs. Bluebird, Your World, Again Again, are essential listening for anyone enamored with the West Coast harmony-pop sound...
