The Love Exchange emerged from Los Angeles in the late 1960s, encapsulating the era's psychedelic rock essence. Fronted by 16-year-old vocalist Bonnie Blunt, whose voice blended the ethereal qualities of Grace Slick and Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane, the band delivered a distinctive sound marked by swirling organs and harmonious melodies. Their 1967 single, "Swallow the Sun," stands as a testament to their folk-rock-psychedelic fusion, featuring optimistic lyrics and garage-like harmonies reminiscent of The Mamas & the Papas. This track was later anthologized in the "Highs in the Mid Sixties" series and the "Nuggets" compilation, cementing their place in psychedelic rock history.
