Yellow Balloon's major claim to fame was that the band's membership boasted a celebrity, actor Don Grady from the television series #My Three Sons, which starred Fred MacMurray. The band at one time also included Daryl Dragon, who wasn't as famous at the time as he would be a few years down the road as the male half of the popular duo Captain & Tennille. In 1967 Yellow Balloon scored its first and only hit single, which was named after the group. The band released an eponymous album that same year through Canterbury Records.
