The Incredible Bongo Band, also known as Michael Viner’s Incredible Bongo Band, was a project started in 1972 by Michael Viner, a record artist manager and executive at MGM Records. Viner was called on to supplement the soundtrack to the virtually anonymous B film The Thing With Two Heads. The « band’s » output consisted of upbeat, funky, sometimes cheesy instrumental music. Many tracks were covers of popular songs of the day characterized by the prominence of bongo drums, conga drums, rock drums and brass.
The band released two albums, 1973’s Bongo Rock and 1974’s Return of the Incredible Bongo Band. The song « Bongo Rock », co-written by Art Laboe and Preston Epps and released by Epps as a Top 40 hit in 1959, was covered by the Incredible Bongo Band as « Bongo Rock ‘73 », and became a minor US hit for them in 1973, and a substantial hit in Canada.
Michael Viner would make use of MGM recording facilities in down-time, recruiting whichever studio musicians were on-hand. This apparently included many well-known blow-ins, all uncredited. Ringo Starr is rumoured to have played on some tracks. The « down-time » sessions carried on for some time, until words from upper management finally quelled the vanity project.
This was never an actual band. When product was finally released, a fake band was assembled and photographed. Those photos were seen on some album artwork, and in publicity.
