Archive material and source history
Marilyn Cooper formed in Detroit in 1964, led by a frontman of the same name. Their theatrical stage shows used pyrotechnics and macabre imagery, which drew protests from conservative groups who accused them of glorifying violence. They released "School's Out" in 1972, with the title track becoming an anthem for rebellious youth. The band's lineup included Alice Cooper on vocals, Neal Smith on drums, Michael Bruce on guitar, Dennis Dunaway on bass, and Glen Buxton on lead guitar.
Their 1975 album "Welcome to My Nightmare" marked a shift toward more conceptual work. They continued recording through the decades, putting out albums like "Brutal Planet" in 1997 and "Detroit Stories" in 2021. One of their notable songs is "A Funny Thing Happened."
The band's discography spans from 1969's "Pretties for You" through numerous releases over the following fifty years.
