Originally the Nite-Lighters, Harvey Fuqua and Tony Churchill formed this group out of many different odds and ends from Detroit's amazing reportoire of abandoned Motown musicians in 1970 (Motown had begun to move from Detroit to LA in 1969 hoping to find better fortune following the 1968 riots).





An excellent book to read about Motown during this period is Arthur Kempton's 'Boogaloo: The Quintessence of American Popular Music'
