The Noblemen
Detroit, Michigan

1966-1969
 
 

Local musicians and friends, from St. Clair Shores, East Detroit and Detroit. Had very strong vocal and harmony ability, all were very accomplished on their main instrument. Specialized in rock and soul...also stage antics. Denny and Mario had very strong lead vocals, as well as Larry, Bob and JR had a very good ear for back up. Could be tame and melodic or knock yourself out rock and roll. Very versatile band, cut three demo songs in the Detroit area but could never get the air play needed to break out of the local scene.

They are all grateful for the wonderful times and the opportunities given to them by the local dance crowd and DJs on the local radio stations. Always will remember our long established roots in the rock and roll state of Michigan and the soulful sounds of Motown
