Biography

Mason Proffit was formed in 1969 after the disbanding of Chicago garage rock group Sounds Unlimited. Brothers John Michael Talbot and Terry Talbot decided to form a new group that was more of a folk and country band. “Two Hangmen”, off of their first album Wanted… Mason Proffit, became a regional hit but was unable to chart nationally. It did, however, help their second album, Movin’ Toward Happiness, chart on the Billboard 200. In 1972, the band signed to Warner Bros. Records and were placed on a national tour opening for the Grateful Dead. Warner Bros. released two of their albums, but both sold poorly, prompting the label to drop the band. Mason Proffit disbanded shortly afterward.
Jon Michael Talbot founded the Christian/Catholic order “Brothers and Sisters of Charity”.

    to correct your info on Mason Proffit ( Sounds Unlimited )...they were from INDIANAPOLIS< INDIANA and lived on Richardt street......the brothers and Tim Ayers went to WARREN CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL on Indys east side ....that is where the garage band was formed...unable to climb higher on the charts in Indy... they moved to Chicago to further their career...but we were from Indianapolis..also the song Hangmen has the same chords as HOTEL CALIFORNIA.....so the EAGLES used Hangmen chords to write their hit H C
