The original line-up was formed in May 1967, by Sault St. Marie singer Keith McKie (b. November 20, 1947, St. Albans, Herts, England, emigrated to Canada in April 1953), after his former band, The Vendettas, had broken up. The Paupers’ former manager Bernie Finkelstein saw potential in McKie and decided to build a group around him using the money he got from Albert Grossmen (for selling his interests in The Paupers’ ) to finance the project. McKie was soon joined by former Bobby Kris and The Imperials guitarist Eugene Martynec (b. March 28, 1947, Germany). The pair then added McKie1s old friend (and former Vendettas) Darou (b. January 6, 1943, Sault St. Marie, Ontario, Canada) who was currently living in New York, and drummer Jimmy Watson (b. August 23, 1950, Belfast, Northern Ireland), who happened to be Van Morrison1s cousin.
