Spanky & Our Gang is tagged as: Spanky and Our Gang was an American 1960s folk-rock band led by Elaine “Spanky” McFarlane. The band derives its name from Hal Roach’s popular Our Gang comedies of the 1930s (known to modern audiences as The Little Rascals). McFarlane was nicknamed “Spanky” because one of the band members, perhaps influenced by her last name, said that she resembled Our Gang star George “Spanky” McFarland. The group was known for its vocal harmonies.
