History
Mott the Hoople formed in Hereford, England, in 1969, evolving from an earlier local band called the Doc Thomas Group. Producer Guy Stevens picked the name from Willard Manus's novel about a circus freak-show worker, reportedly while reading it in prison. The classic lineup paired vocalist and pianist Ian Hunter with guitarist Mick Ralphs, bassist Pete Overend Watts, drummer Dale "Buffin" Griffin and organist Verden Allen, playing a glam-tinged hard rock sound. After several commercially unsuccessful albums left the band on the verge of splitting in 1972, David Bowie talked them into staying together, wrote them the glam anthem "All the Young Dudes" and produced the album of the same name, giving them their breakthrough hit. Further success followed with "Mott" (1973) and "The Hoople" (1974), including the single "All the Way from Memphis." Hunter left in 1974 and the band broke up in 1980, though they have reunited several times since 2009. Ralphs went on to co-found Bad Company.
