History
Kansas is an American rock band formed in Topeka, Kansas, in 1973, growing out of a string of local groups (including an early lineup also called Kansas) that had been playing together since 1970. Their classic lineup of Kerry Livgren (guitars, keyboards, chief songwriter), Phil Ehart (drums), Dave Hope (bass), Rich Williams (guitar), Steve Walsh (vocals, keyboards) and Robby Steinhardt (violin, vocals) fused American boogie rock with the shifting time signatures and symphonic scope of progressive rock, with Steinhardt's violin giving the band its signature sound. After three albums built a cult following, 1976's Leftoverture broke them nationally on the strength of "Carry On Wayward Son," and 1977's Point of Know Return added "Dust in the Wind" and its title track; both albums went multi-platinum. "Dust in the Wind" was certified gold as a digital download in 2005, nearly thirty years after its release. The band's name and the song "People of the South Wind" reference the Kaw (Kanza) Native American people of Kansas. In 1978 the group was named UNICEF Deputy Ambassadors of Goodwill.
