Ottawa brothers Richard and Brian Cooper started their career on the momentum of Beatlemania and played eastern Canada in such outfits as What The Cat Dragged In. They decided to form their own band in 1971 following Richard's suspension from the University of Ottawa for spending too much time on the road instead of working on his Masters' Degree in English Literature. Richard Cooper felt the material, all cover tunes, wasn't where they should be focusing and decided to start writing original material. As a newly expanded seven piece, manager Allan Katz landed them a distribution deal in the US with Capricorn Records. Brian Cooper and Terry King flirted briefly with a trio of sorts featuring Les Emmerson in the 1990's.
