Crow: Crow Music - White Eyes Video

Crow was formed in 1967 by singer David Wagner, guitarist Dick Wiegand, bassist Larry Wiegand, keyboardist Kink Middlemist, and drummer Harry Nehls under the name South 40, which was used until the group went national. Nehls was replaced by Denny Craswell once the group went national.[1] Columbia Records brought them in to record a demo in 1969; they passed, and Crow was signed to Amaret. [2]

In 1969, Crows debut album Crow Music was recorded. The single "Evil Woman (Dont Play Your Games With Me)" made the Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 that fall.[3] Crow by Crow and Mosaic were the follow-up releases in 1970 and 1971 respectively. Singles released off Crows later albums were not as successful; the band wanted to move to Elektra Records, but Amaret wouldnt let them out of their contract while retaining their name. [4] Wagner left the group in 1971; the band replaced him with Mick Stanhope and attempted to move forward, but collapsed for good in 1972. [5] David Wagner recorded a solo album for Amaret in late 1972 titled: d/b/a Crow.

Crow still plays occasionally in the Midwest (summers) with Dave Wagner on vocals. See the website for details.
