Vince Martin never became a household folk-rock name, but he was one of the most influential folk-rock artists of his time. Sadly, Vince Martin died at the age of 81 recently, and barely anyone noticed.

Here’s why his life should be celebrated; he recorded the song “Cindy, Oh Cindy” years before the Beach Boys brought it fame, and Murray Wilson (the Beach Boys dad) was heavily influenced by Vince, although he wouldn’t let on. Vince also influenced the best and brightest musicians before they became famous; the ‘Lovin’ Spoonful’s’ Felix Pappalardi and John Sebastian, Little Feat’s Lowell George, Bob Dylan, David Crosby, Joni Mitchell and more.

Vince Martin quietly played along, harmonized, and befriended the nation’s rising folk-rock singers well before they became stars. Vince deserves a moment in the sun, and we hope you’re smiling while reading this article, that would have pleased him.
