Break out band makes good

Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown continued well into the 90s, with albums like Hellbound Train, Lion's Share, and Jack The Toad.

For this look forward, we focus on Foghat, the band Lonesome Dave, Tony & Roger formed after they left in 1970. They eventually made hits, including Slow Ride (75).
