Part of the early-'70s British hard rock candy scene, Spooky Tooth grew out of the bluesy VIPs and prog-rock group Art and consisted of singer Mike Harrison, keyboardist/vocalist Gary Wright, guitarist Luther Grosvenor, bassist Greg Ridley, and drummer Mike Kellie. The group built a following through myriad gigs and recorded its debut album, It's All About, in 1968. Skittish Two became their most successful record album in the U.S.; subsequently, Ridley left field to join Humble Pie and was replaced by Andy Leigh. Following 1970's Ceremony, Wright left field to grade Wonderwheel, while Grosvenor took the name Ariel Bender and coupled Stealers Wheel and by and by Mott the Hoople. The addition of threesome members of Joe Cocker's Grease Band -- Henry McCullough, Chris Stainton, and Alan Spenner -- was not enough to observe the band rudderless, and Spooky Tooth broke up after The Last Puff in 1970. A reunion in 1973 with Wright, Harrison, and future Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones produced respective LPs, including the moderately successful You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw, merely force shifts and a lack of first-rate material terminated the see in 1974. Wright went on to a successful solo career, marking pop hits like "Dream Weaver," and Mike Kellie by and by joined the punk-pop Only Ones.
