Evolved from a group of musicians previously known as “The Creators”, the “Romeos”, “Señor Soul” and “Nightshift”, and who played the L.A. club circuit. They were discovered and promoted by Jerry Goldstein who linked up the musicians with frontman and vocalist Eric Burdon and harmonica player Lee Oskar.
