The Cornells

If you are looking for the band that composed the hit song '74-'75 see The Connells

The Cornells were a 1960s Los Angeles band that played mostly surf music. Four of the five members had a parent who was a well-known celebrity.

The band appeared on the television show I've Got A Secret in 1963 with the secret "We're all the sons of Hollywood Celebrities". They played "Caravan" live on the show.

According to Richie Unterberger,"Whatever interest this L. A. surf combo generates stems from the fact that future Moby Grape guitarist Peter Lewis was a member. (...) Lewis was the only member destined to make a mark on rock history."[1]
