Ohio Knox was formed in 1972 in Los Angeles, California, USA, by Peter Gallaway (vocals/guitar; ex-Fifth Avenue Band) and also comprised the session musicians Paul Harris (keyboards), Ray Neopolitan (bass) and Dallas Taylor (drums; ex-Clear Light and Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young). Ohio Knox featured the same lightweight pop rock of the singer’s previous band and bore an obvious similarity to the work of John Sebastian. Galloway started a solo career when Harris and Taylor joined Stephen Stills’ band, Manassas.
