While there was a small rotation of members, the original line-up consisted of lead guitar/manager Owen Husney, drums Doug Ahrens, lead vocals Cliff Siegel, bass guitar Rick Beresford, rhythm guitar Rick Levinson, and Jay Luttio on keyboards. The band was among the Midwest groups that are credited with being the forefathers of the later punk rock scene. Owen Husney later went on to discover and manage the artist, Prince as well as eleven other gold and platinum artists. Charts and awardsThe group's first hit was a raveup of Bobby "Blue" Bland's "(Turn on Your) Love Light," recorded on May 7, 1965 and issued on Soma Records. The B side was "Tossin' and Turnin'," recorded at the same session. The record did well in the Twin Cities,[1] and hit Number 1 in both Kansas City (the band performed in KC on two occasions) and Dallas during the fall of 1965, and also was beginning to do well in California and Colorado.[2] A Top 40 chart from San Jose in September 1965 showed that the record was ranked Number 33 in that market.[3] Their second release was "I Believe" (not the Frankie Laine song), recorded on January 12, 1966 and released on Soma. It was written by rhythm guitar player Rick Levinson. The flip side, recorded at the same session, was "Bright Lights, Big City," a cover of a Jimmy Reed/Animals tune. In 2006, the band was inducted into the Minnesota Rock Country Hall of Fame for their contribution to music history.[4] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.users.uswest.net/~oldiesloon/kd081465.htm | title=KDWB Top 40 Aug 14, 1965}} {{DEFAULTSORT:High Spirits, The}}2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.las-solanas.com/arsa/surveys_item.php?svid=3846 | title=KIMN 950 Denver Top 40 - 11/18/65}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.slphistory.org/history/highspirits.asp | title=St Louis Park Historical Society}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/arkansas_rambler/176776613/ | title=2006 Rock and Country Hall of Fame Inductees}} 4 : American psychedelic rock music groups|Musical groups established in 1964|Musical groups disestablished in 1969|Garage rock groups from Minnesota |
