The Original Caste (folk, pop)
Canada's original folk blues vocal band. The pop group was founded by Bruce Innes in Calgary, Alberta in 1966. Originally named The North Country Singers, the group began its career singing in coffee houses and restaurants across Canada. In 1968, they moved to Los Angeles and changed the group name to The Original Caste. They recorded two singles for Dot Records and had limited success, but then signed with TA Records in 1969. At TA Records they met Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter, who produced their first two hit singles, One Tin Soldier (which was used successfully in the cult film Billy Jack, performed by the band Coven) and Mr. Monday, and their first album., One Tin Soldier The success of these two songs (Certified Gold in Canada and Japan) enabled the group to tour extensively in The United States, Canada, and Japan.
