About

Originally formed in Erie, Pennsylvania in 1962 as The Fabulous Epics, the group relocated to Los Angeles in 1968 and adopted the name Orange Colored Sky at the insistence of Universal Records [Orange Colored Sky - B](http://badcatrecords.com/ORANGEcoloredSKY.htm). The band is best known for their 1969 self-titled debut album on the Uni label, which featured lush, orchestral sunshine pop and psychedelic pop arrangements penned by keyboardist Walter Slivinski [Orange Colored Sky Albums: songs, discography, biography, and listening guide - Rate Your Music](https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/orange_colored_sky).

After their initial recording success, the band transitioned to the Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe casino circuits throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, opening for major acts such as Frank Sinatra, Burt Bacharach, and Tony Bennett [Orange Colored Sky is not a psychedelic band](https://www.facebook.com/groups/478613695592616/posts/5323775157743088/).
