The Dolphins 45 by Fred Neil

June 24, 2012

Fred Neil, 1936-2001, was a respected folk singer from the 1960s who became better known as a songwriter. The big failing during his career was his aversion to touring. He rarely performed live and a brief one sgng set as a guest artist during 1981 was his last live performance.

He spent thirty years of his life working wih dolphins in South Florida. In many ways this was hs main career choice and music was secondary.

“The Dolphins” was a song about his first love. Released as a single it received no chart action, nor did any of his singles.
