Gypsy was an American progressive rock band from Minnesota, formed as The Underbeats (1962–1968).[1][2] Gypsy was the house band at the Whisky a Go Go, West Hollywood, California from September 1969 to April 1971 and were known in 1970 for their US Billboard Hot 100 single "Gypsy Queen Part 1", which peaked at #62. The track "Dead And Gone" was played extensively on KSHE 95 in St. Louis MO, KADI-FM in St. Louis MO, and KWK St. Louis. Most of Gypsy's music was composed and written by guitarist and singer Enrico Rosenbaum. Drummer Bill Lordan went on to play with Sly & the Family Stone and a long career with Robin Trower. Keyboardist James Walsh continued the band in various incarnations as The James Walsh Gypsy Band.[2] The James Walsh Gypsy Band had one Hot 100 entry in 1978 with, "Cuz, It's You Girl" which peaked at #71.[3]
The group has no relation to the British band of the same name formed in 1968, who recorded two albums for United Artists Records in the UK.[4]
Jim Johnson died of esophageal cancer in hospice care on September 26, 2019, at age 76.[5][6] James '"Owl" Walsh died of congestive heart failure at hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on March 4, 2023, at age 74.[7][8]
