[edit] Career
The band formed in Calgary, Alberta in 1964 as The Rebounds. The Rebounds had six members: Rich Dodson, Len Roemer, Brendan Lyttle, Kim Berly, and Race Holiday. They renamed themselves The Stampeders in 1965 and Len Roemer was replaced with Ronnie King and Van Louis. In 1966 they relocated to Toronto, Ontario, and became a trio in 1968 when Lyttle, Louis, and Holiday left. In 1971 they had a hit with Sweet City Woman, for which won Best Single at the Juno Awards and reached #8 in the U.S. charts. They also won Best Group, Best Producer (Mel Shaw), and Best Composer (Rich Dodson) that year. In 1976 they had another U.S.hit with "Hit The Road Jack", featuring Wolfman Jack. In Canada they went on to score twelve top five hits.[citation needed]
The band broke up in 1977, but reunited at the Calgary Stampede in 1992. They continue to this day to tour Canada doing fairs, festivals, casinos and theatres.
