Whiz Winters, a friend who worked for their manager, Paul Sampson, in his record shop, came up with the name 'The Shadows of Knight' to tie into the in music of that time, and because all four of the band members attended in, whose sports team had the name the 'Knights'.They released three albums in their first five years of existence. Founding members included Warren Rogers , Roger Spielmann (rhythm and lead guitar/vocals) Norm Gotsch , Wayne Pursell , Tom Schiffour and Jim Sohns. Sohns was 16 at the time. During 1965, Joe Kelley was recruited to play, replacing Pursell.
Kelley swapped bass and lead duties with Rogers in late 1965 - at the time of the 'Gloria' recordings. And vocalist replaced Norm Gotsch in late 1965 after Gotsch was drafted into the U.S. Military., who later worked with and, replaced Rogers on bass in late 1966.After performing in and around Chicago's northwest suburbs in 1964 and 1965, The Shadows of Knight became the house band at in, owned by Sampson. They attracted more than 500 teenagers every Saturday and Sunday at the 'Cellar' for more than six months until Sampson began booking other bands, giving them a break.
A recording of a Shadows of Knight performance at The Cellar was released in 1992 by as.A performance in support of at Chicago's in early summer 1965 attracted the attention of Bill Traut and George Badonski. During that show, they performed ' by 's band. The band signed with Dunwich shortly thereafter and recorded 'Gloria' as a first effort.Released in December 1965, 'Gloria' received massive regional airplay. The band had slightly altered the song's lyrics, replacing Morrison's original 'she comes to my room, then she made me feel alright' with 'she called out my name, that made me feel alright' after influential Chicago station had banned 's original version.
This simple change overcame the prevalent AM radio censorship of the era and got The Shadows of Knight's cover version of the song onto the playlist of, which had censored the original. The single reached the No. 1 position on the radio station's countdown, as well as on local rival. On the national charts, 'Gloria' rose to No. 10.
The secondary publication ranked 'Gloria' as high as No. 7. In Canada the song reached No. 8 on the charts.

Subsequent included their version of the song 'Oh Yeah' (which reached No. 39 nationally), 'Bad Little Woman' (No. 91), and the powerhouse 'I'm Gonna Make You Mine' (No.
90), which can be seen as a precursor to. However, none of these releases approached their initial commercial success. Failure to find a winning followup to 'Gloria' handicapped the band's earning power and led to its disintegration. Tom Schiffour left the band in spring 1967, first to be replaced by a young local fan of the band, Bruce Bruscato.
He was subsequently replaced by Tom Morris. The original band fragmented further when McGeorge departed for acid-rock band, while Kelley left to front his own blues band. Hawk Wolinski also left the band to form with Schiffour and guitarist Alan De Carlo. Schiffour was later replaced by drummer Michael Tegza, also of the (by then-defunct) H.P.

Sohns then moved the band from Chicago to New York, where it signed with. Sohns had hoped to take the band in a British power-rock direction, but the record label pulled them into a more commercial orientation, pairing the band with such as the and the on tour. In 1969, the second generation Shadows of Knight released 'Shake' on Buddha's short-lived subsidiary; the track eventually climbed to No. 37 Canada Dec.68). That same year, without the band's knowledge or consent, the unsuccessful update 'Gloria '69' was released by Dunwich. It consisted of new bass and guitar tracks overdubbed by (later of ) and Jim Donlinger (a member of ), both Chicago rock veterans.'
Shake' and its B-Side, 'From Way Out to Way Under' were actually recorded by Sohns and a number of studio musicians, on the understanding that a Shadows of Knight reassembled by Sohns would record the follow-up album. That album, Shadows of Knight is today regarded as a distinct recording oddity, being an attempt to mix and bubblegum music.The four years after the breakup of the original Shadows was a dark creative period with little financial success. The band's repertoire consisted mostly of pop cover songs, which allowed them to survive by playing clubs. The second iteration of the band consisted of John Fisher, former lead guitar of the, on bass, Woody Woodruff and Dan Baughman on guitars, and Ken Turkin on drums. Turkin was replaced in early 1969 by Paul Scarpelli, and in 1970 Jack 'Hawkeye' Daniels replaced Woodruff on guitar.

The performance featured Lee Brovitz on bass (later of ) and Paul Roy on guitar. As one reviewer noted in relation to the album, 'If you subscribe to the theory that the '60s actually survived a couple of years into the 1970s, then this is a prime slice of 1960s garage punk.' The album is also noted as containing 'a wonderfully blistering guitar-laced extended version of 's ', which is nearly twelve minutes long.
Also in 1992, another live recording, Raw 'n' Alive at The Cellar, 1966, was released by Sundazed Records. As noted by Richie Unterberger, 'This is one of the very few live garage band tapes from the mid-'60s of relatively decent sound quality (considering the standards of the era). The song selection of this set should also please fans of one of the most famed '60s garage bands, captured here at a club in their home turf of Chicago in December 1966.' In 1994, released Dark Sides: The Best of The Shadows of Knight. Unterberger had mixed feelings about this collection, particularly in view of the absence of 'I Just Want to Make Love to You'. 'I Just Want to Make Love to You' was included in a 2005 Atlantic release, Rhino Hi-Five: The Shadows of Knight, a five song EP that also included 'Gloria' and 'Oh Yeah'.In 2006, the Shadows of Knight headlined 's cross-country ' tour with.

As well as crudely produced and swept into a schizoid zone all its own where it barked and drooled while trying to behave. Which it did—badly.
It is one of the most incorrigible displays in a space and time renowned for incorrigibility. The album is a catalog of first takes, mistakes, outtakes, and every-other-kinda-takes as well as how NOT to produce a record; let alone one to rescue a diminishing career with some semblance of a return to form. But as far as providing true con-o-sewers with enough fuzz, junk, kicks, and yucks for its half an hour duration, it scores a big time punk 'f., yeah!'
