Founds Reeb 45 RememberThe Fownds came from Hudson, New York. They had two singles, first the thumping rocker “Comin On Strong” b/w the doo-wop influenced “Rosalin” in 1971, and then the moody “Remember” b/w a hot rod parody “Wheels” (the band name changed to the Founds on this release).

Both singles have a sound like something from the early-mid ’60s despite the release dates.

Donald Moore wrote most of the songs and did some lead vocals. Sal Gambino wrote “Rosalin”, and Roy Jackson sang lead on the moody “Remember”.

The Fownds released both singles on their own Reeb label (“beer” spelled backwards), a custom label through Earl Kennett’s studio in Kinderhook.

Don Moore had a later band called Confusion, I believe he passed away in 2013.

  1. Roy Jackson was my grandfather would love to know more about this! I’ve always heard stories but never really knew

  2. Based on the label layout and numbering system used it looks to me like Kennett Sound Studio involvement.
