Rhinoceros was a band that was not formed, but created in 1967 by the big shots at Elektra Records. They were kind of a super group with members brought on board via auditions.
It didn't really pan out that well for the band or the label, and their commercial success was very limited.
The pinnacle of their success came in 1968 when this song made it to #46 on The Billboard Charts.
Clocking in at one minute and fifty-seven seconds, the song was just about as long as their success story.
I totally love, love, love "Apricot Brandy," which as my brother once said, sounds like a funky progressive band wrapped into a 2-and-a-half-minute single!
