Madrigal formed in 1968 during the members' days at Willowdale Junior High School north of Toronto. They had been spotted by Greg Hambleton, owner of Tuesday Records, and he had them re-record his song &I Believe In Sunshine& in 1970 (which A Passing Fancy had also recorded). The track reached the Canadian Top20 and spent six weeks riding the Top40. The song was part of their debut album 'Sunshine And Baked Beans'.
 
The follow up single was 1971's &Hallelujah& which didn't appear on the album.
 
The band broke up in 1973 but reunited with a different line-up in 1975 but that too was short lived.
 
Peter Boynton went on to join Red Rider with Tom Cochrane.
