Background notes
Archive material and source history
Marty Grimes came out of Detroit in the late 1970s, playing in bars and clubs around the city. The band had a raw, unpolished sound that caught some attention, especially with their song "Hell of a Night (Explicit)."
They put out a few more records after that, like "Raw Power" and "Night Fever," keeping that basic rock energy but trying out some blues and funk touches here and there.
The lineup included Marty Grimes on vocals, Tony Russo on guitar, Sammy James on bass, and Billy Johnson on drums. They had another track called "Wishin" that showed up in their catalog too. The band's story had its rough patches, but that early Detroit rock feel stuck with them.
