Originally formed in 1969, they featured Michael "Will" Youatt (bass) (1950-2017), Jimmy Davies (guitar), Jeff Hooper (guitar), Robert Collins (keyboards) and Anthony Stone (drums).[1] This line up recorded one single "Passing By"/"Cobblestones" (both written by Youatt) in 1970. Youatt left to join briefly Piblokto![2] then Man. Hooper also left and Phil Davies (bass) then joined the band.[3] A second single "Time To Live"/"Empty Street, Empty Heart" was released in 1973 and was soon followed by the album Home Is Where I Belong[4] later that year. The band ceased to exist in 1975 when Davies formed Alkatraz with Youatt.
Subsequent careers
After the band split up Collins became a sound man, initially for Man,[5] but later for such people as Eric Clapton.[6] Davies re-joined Youatt in a new band Alkatraz who recorded one album Doing a Moonlight for United Artists.
