The Dynamics were formed in the early 1960s. Their first hit was 1963's "Misery", which formed the basis for the Who's first record, "Zoot Suit".[1]
In the late 1960s the group was managed by Ted White, who married Aretha Franklin.[2] The group released two full-length albums and charted three hits on the U.S. R&B charts in 1973–74.
Their first album was recorded in Memphis and featured a number of Memphis session musicians – Reggie Young on guitar, Bobby Emmons on organ, Bobby Wood on piano, Mike Leech on bass, and Gene Chrisman on drums.
