Euclid, Ohio 1964-8
The Lost Souls formed when five students at St. Joe's High School in Euclid got together and one of Cleveland's biggest and best mid-60s combos was formed. The original lineup included Ed Gazoski on guitar. Denny Marek, who was the guitarist for the greaser styled band the R-Dee's, heard them and offered to join. Eventually Gazoski left and the 'classic' Lost Souls lineup of Denny Marek (lead guitar), Denny Carleton (rhythm guitar and lead vocals), Larry Tomczak (drums), Chuck McKinley (bass and lead vocals), and Rich Schouenaur (sax and flute) was established.
