The Frost

Detroit rockers the Frost were led by singer/guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:6vdSr6XwvJkFUO9wnPKbAz">Dick Wagner</a>, a longtime staple of the southeast Michigan music scene who during the early '60s led local favorites the Bossmen. After the Bossmen disbanded -- bassist <a href="spotify:artist:6EIXFRkQvNMjdmgoBz2Gb7">Mark Farner</a> later went on to form <a href="spotify:artist:0qEcf3SFlpRcb3lK3f2GZI">Grand Funk Railroad</a> -- <a href="spotify:artist:1WXbZwRGH5tABMIpMxNqzY">Wagner</a> founded the Frost with guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:5sLRoEp3Z2cyJU3xMZlyS0">Don Hartman</a>, bassist Jack Smolinski and drummer Bob Riggs; after exchanging Smolinski for Gordy Garris, the group debuted in 1968 with the single "Bad Girl," and upon signing to <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Vanguard%22">Vanguard</a> they issued their 1969 debut LP Frost Music, scoring a regional smash with the single "Mystery Man." Rock and Roll Music, recorded live at Detroit's famed Grande Ballroom, followed later that same year, but despite earning a cult following throughout the Midwest the Frost failed to capture a national audience, and in the wake of 1970's Through the Eyes of Love the group disbanded. <a href="spotify:artist:1WXbZwRGH5tABMIpMxNqzY">Wagner</a> later went on to considerable success as a session guitarist, working with artists including <a href="spotify:artist:42TFhl7WlMRXiNqzSrnzPL">Lou Reed</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3EhbVgyfGd7HkpsagwL9GS">Alice Cooper</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:7C4sUpWGlTy7IANjruj02I">Peter Gabriel</a>. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
