Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })American Spring (originally called Spring but had to change name due to an European Progressive Rock band already having that moniker) is an American Pop duo consisting of sisters Marilyn and Diane Rovell. It was formed in the early seventies and ceased activities in 1978.Both sisters have previously sung on the trio The Honeys (along with their cousin Sandra Glantz/Ginger Blake), a girl band which was formed in the late fifties and later got affiliated with The Beach Boys (mostly through Marilyn's relationship with Brian Wilson who also produced some of their songs). As surfing went out of vogue in the late sixties, Ginger left the band to resume solo activities and the remaining sisters formed Spring in the early seventies. Again, Brian produced some of their songs, and their self-titled debut (and sole) album was released in 1972, showcasing psychedelic pop mixed with Sunshine Pop which fitted the work of The Beach Boys' Sunflower. After the band changed their name to American Spring, they went dormant until 1977 where they recorded new songs along with Beach Boys bodyguard Rocky Pampling. However, personal issues related to the divorce of Marilyn and Brian caused American Spring to become inactive again.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })While The Honeys have occasionally reformed over the last decades, American Spring remains inactive since. The material they recorded outside of their only album has been reissued on several compilations.Discography: 1972 - Spring (later reissued as American Spring)

The Cover Changes the Gender: "Good Time" is a song originally written and recorded in 1970 by The Beach Boys but that version was never released until their 1977 album The Beach Boys Love You. The song was first released by Spring in their self-titled album.The Beach Boys version has girlfriends named Penny and Betty while the Spring version has boyfriends named Eddy and Orion.
