Background[]
The Bedrock Rockers were formed by Pebbles, Bamm-Bamm, Moonrock, Penny and Wiggy playing various musical instruments.

Fifteen songs were produced, though the band performed two songs per episode, implying that some songs were repeated at some point in the series.
- "Sunshine Man"
- "Summertime Girl"
- "Oh, How I Love You"
- "Keep in Time"
- "It Should Always Be Saturday"
- "Hop, Skip and a Jump"
- "Flying So High"

- "Shadow, Shadow"
- "Being With You"
- "Singing Song"
- "Song of the Season"

Production[]
The music was written by various Screen Gems staffers, which at the time included David Gates (later of Bread) penning the popular "Summertime Girl" and Tony Dancy (of Tony's Tygers) writing with Craig Fairchild & Jackie Mills on "Being With You". Mills would also write "Sunshine Man" with Leonard Pettit, and "Yabba-Dabba-Doozie!" with Tom Jenkins. The actual group on the recordings were known as The Ron Hicklin Singers featuring Tom Bahler on lead (he would later go on to pen the classic Michael Jackson song, "She's Out of My Life"), John Bahler, Jackie Ward and Stan Farber. This lineup would record on hundreds of commercials, TV themes and The Partridge Family recordings. Bahler's lead vocals are also prominent with the group The Love Generation who had a few LPs in the late 1960s as well.
Notes/Trivia[]
- The band was essentially a Stone Age version of a traditional 1960s band, such as The Beatles or The Monkees.
