The Zombies

The Zombies are an English rock band formed in 1961, known for blending beat era pop with baroque pop and early psychedelia. Their sound emphasizes melodic, often jazz-influenced chord progressions, prominent organ and keyboard parts, and airy, plaintive lead vocals supported by close harmonies. Centered on keyboardist Rod Argent and singer Colin Blunstone, the group is noted for refined arrangements and a distinctive, melodic approach to 1960s British pop that has influenced later musicians.
