Mountains

Mountain was born out of the sixties music explosion.Leslie came from The Vagrants,an East Coast power house band that was making a name for themselves.Corky came from the band Energy that was produced by Felix Pappalardi. Felix had extensive producing credits before Mountain formed in 1969.He was a classically trained musician who studied conducting and music arranging in college.His skills eventually lead him to Mountain.He produced Cream's Disreali Gears and worked with many other prominent artists from the Greenwich Village folk scene.Steve Knight was brought in by Felix because of prior musical affliations.Eventually this small web of the music scene brought these four guys together.They debuted at the Fillmore in 1969 and went on to play at the granddaddy of all music festivals Woodstock.They established themselves as one of the premiere rock bands of their time.The band eventualy called it quits in 1972.
