Gypsy was an American progressive rock band from Minnesota, formed as The Underbeats (1962–1968).[1][2] Gypsy was the house band at the Whisky a Go Go, West Hollywood, California for about eight months from September 1969 to 1970 and were known in 1970 for their US Billboard Hot 100 single "Gypsy Queen Part 1 and 2". Most of Gypsy's music was composed and written by guitarist and singer Enrico Rosenbaum. Drummer Bill Lordan went on to play with Sly & the Family Stone and a long career with Robin Trower. Keyboardist James Walsh continued the band in various incarnations as The James Walsh Gypsy Band.[2]

The group has no relation to the British band of the same name formed in 1968, who recorded two albums for United Artists Records in the UK.
