Sky

Sky was an American rock power trio active in the early 1970s, based in Detroit, Michigan. Sky gained a local following after serving as an opening act for popular groups such as Jethro Tull, The Who, Joe Cocker, Bob Seger, and The Stooges. It also played with Traffic numerous times.

The group released two albums with RCA, "Don't Hold Back" (1970) and "Sailor's Delight" (1971). The band's sound was a mix of rock and pop influences, and they were influenced by artists such as The Beatles, The Who, The Grateful Dead and Traffic.

Sky disbanded in 1973. It's mostly known today as an early point in musician Doug Fieger's career, later the frontman of The Knack. Despite Sky's short-lived existence, their contributions to rock music and Doug Fieger's later success with The Knack have made them a footnote in music history.
