American Gypsy is a group of musicians that came out of L.A. Members played with Dr. John, Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Barry White and Frank Zappa. In 1972 after they all formed the band "The Pasadena Ghetto Orchestra", they came to Europe, more precisely, Maastricht Holland and renamed themselves American Gypsy.

Their first singles "Lady Eleanor" and "Angel Eyes" came out in 1974 but weren't very successful. "I'm OK, You're OK" from 1979 also flopped but was a big hit in American Discos.

I remember them quite well as an American funkband, operating from Holland but they were more a hype then good songwriters IMHO. They mainly recorded for CBS and Philips and ended in the eighties on the German ZYX label.
