Freeport – Freeport 1970 (USA, Psychedelic, Hard Rock)
This band from Cleveland, Ohio, formed in early 1968. They began their career under the name "Paper Sun and the Freeport Express." The band played late-'60s-style rock, performing in clubs and dance halls in and around Cleveland, where they enjoyed some popularity among local youth. After some time, Eric Janson left the band and was replaced by two guitarists: Dennis Stredney and Roger Lewis, who also parted ways with Lewis shortly afterward. With this lineup, and changing their name to "Freeport," they recorded their only LP in Miami for Mainstream Records. The band's frontman, vocalist and keyboardist Kevin Raleigh, played keyboards for the well-known Cleveland group "Michael Stanley Band" in the late 1970s and 1980s and co-wrote all of the band's hits (with Michael Stanley). In 1989, he released a solo album, "Delusions of Grandeur."
