Notes:

The Parade was first a trio and then a quartet of actors who also sang and wrote songs. In 1967 they had a top twenty hit with the song Sunshine Girl which is called the first of the sub-genre musical style "Sunshine Pop". Multiple songs were recorded for their only album and released as singles, but all of those songs failed to duplicate the success of Sunshine Girl and the album was never released.

A CD of all the singles plus some bonus cuts have been reissued several times since 1988.
