James Lowe, Singer for the Electric Prunes, of ‘I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)’ Fame, Dies at 82
James Lowe, who fronted the Electric Prunes, best known for their '60s psych-rock hit 'I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night,' has died at age 77.
Following the breakup of the Electric Prunes, Lowe became an engineer and producer working with such artists as Sparks and Todd Rundgren, before leaving music behind in the early ’70s and eventually finding a second career in the world of industrial filmmaking. “James left this world peacefully — his heart giving one final electric beat, surrounded by the loving embrace of his family and enveloped by the sounds of his favorite music,” his children Lisa, Cameron, and Skylar said in a statement. Upon getting signed, Lowe and his bandmates Ken Williams, James “Weasel” Spagnola, Mark Tulin and Preston Ritter were known as Jim and the Lords, a tag they were eager to shed before releasing their first single.
