Biography

Spooky Tooth was an English progressive rock band from the late 1960s.

They formed in October 1967, out of a combination of The Ramrods (1960 - late 1963), The V.I.P.’s (late 1963 - April 1967) and Art (April - October 1967). The line-up changed several times, but typically included the following members:

Mike Harrison (keyboards/vocals)Greg Ridley (bass guitar/vocals)Luther (Luke) Grosvenor (guitar/vocals)Mike Kellie (drums)Gary Wright (organ/vocals)
It was the addition of Gary Wright that signalled the name change from Art to Spooky Tooth.

The song “Better By You, Better Than Me” recorded by Judas Priest is a Spooky Tooth cover. It was taken from 1969’s Spooky Two LP which is generally considered to be the best effort by the group. It was the last album release from the original line-up. Ridley joined Humble Pie in 1969 and was replaced by Andy Leigh who went on to Matthews Southern Comfort with ex-Fairport Convention vocalist Ian Matthews. The experimental nature of Ceremony received mixed reviews and following its release Wright also bowed out. The core of Harrison, Grosvenor and Kellie struggled on for one more album, aptly titled The Last Puff, (featuring a cover of “I am the Walrus”) completed with friends from Joe Cocker’s Grease Band.

They broke up in the autumn of 1970. After solo efforts, Harrison and Wright reformed Spooky Tooth in September 1972 with a different (and frequently changing) line-up.

    It's nice to see at least a few songs from Witness and You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw in the Top 25. Those are great albums. And name-calling is childish.

    coo', people who don't like this only can value their argument by saying "...where's the drop? This isn't dubstep? O_O" (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

    Great band. Hangman Hang My Shell On A Tree could possible have thee best rhythm used in rock'n'roll song. They're brilliant, when I think of that immortal timeless rock'n'roll sound, I think of Spooky Tooth.

    Waitin' For The Wind is frickin' awesome! Feelin' Bad is making me feel good! Additionally their cover of The Weight is spot on to The Band version, maybe even better. Such an underrated band.
