Duke Jupiter

Upstate New York rockers Duke Jupiter emerged in the late '70s, with an original lineup centered around Marshall Styler (vocals, keyboards) and Greg Walker (vocals, guitar). The band was signed to Mercury shortly thereafter, issuing a total of three albums for the label: their 1978 debut Sweet Cheeks, 1979's Taste the Night, and 1980's Band in Blue. But the group left Mercury in the early '80s, signing on with the CBS subsidiary Coast to Coast and issuing 1982's Duke Jupiter 1, which featured their biggest hit, "I'll Drink to You." After 1983's You Make It Look Easy, Coast to Coast went out of business, leading to a deal with a subsidiary of Motown Records called Morocco. After two more underappreciated releases, 1984's White Knuckle Ride and 1985's The Line of Your Fire, Duke Jupiter decided to call it a day.
