Zager & Evans - In The Year 2525: The RCA Masters 1969-1970

ZAGER & EVANS was the duo of US folk-rockers, Denny Zager and Rick Evans.

They are fondly remembered for their classic 1969 single, ‘In The Year 2525’, a prophetic forewarning of technology taking over humanity in centuries to come.

‘In The Year 2525’ was No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic in July 1969, in the aftermath of the hit movies Planet Of The Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey — and as all things futuristic were in the news as Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.

The single is one of the best-loved in pop history, having been covered more than 60 times in seven different languages.
