Mighty Kong
Effective period / Period of releases: 1974 - 1987
Members: Ross Hannaford, Ray Arnott, Tim Partridge, Ross Wilson (2), Russell Smith (4), Tim Gaze (2)
Mighty Kong were an Australian 'supergroup' successor to Daddy Cool, which broke up in August 1972. It was also the fifth (and technically the last) in the line of groups that featured singer-songwriter Ross Wilson and guitarist Ross Hannaford, which began with The Pink Finks in 1965. Despite its all-star line-up, drawing from three of the top groups of the time, the band was short-lived and never really achieved its considerable potential, effectively relegated to being a footnote in the story of Daddy Cool.
