about
'Terry Knight and the Pack' was between 1965 and 1967 a band from Flint, Michigan. The band was signed to the Lucky Eleven label throughout its short recording career. Former DJ Terry Knight fronted the act as singer and songwriter. Don Brewer and Herm Jackson played drums and bass, respectively. Curt Johnson supplied fuzz guitar solos while Bobby Caldwell provided melodic keyboards. Mark Farner replaced Herm Jackson on bass for a few months in the spring of 1966. After his broken leg healed, Herm Jackson returned to the band. In January 1967 Terry fired Curt Johnson and replaced him with Mark Farner on guitar. A quintessential garage band, TK&TP openly imitated best-selling rockers of the mid-1960s, especially the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. Due to the band's lack of refinement and Knight's compositional idiosyncrasies, much of their material transcends its inspiration to qualify as lost classics of the Nuggets era. Six of their nine 45s made regional Top 40s throughout Michigan, Ohio and New York, with two of them - "Mister, You're A Better Man Than I" (originally by The Yardbirds) and I (Who Have Nothing) (a cover of a Ben E. King song) - reaching the national charts. I (Who Have Nothing) went to #46 and earned the band an appearance on Dick Clark's television program Where The Action Is. Tracks by the band include: "This Precious Time" (composed and produced by P.F. Sloan), a version of "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" and several Knight originals:
