The Band is widely considered to be one of the most influential rock groups of the 1960s and '70s. Originally known as “The Hawks,” the group performed as the backing band for Ronnie Hawkins between 1957 to 1964 and then Bob Dylan during his 1965-1966 electric tours. In 1967, The Hawks split from Dylan and used several different band names before settling on “The Band.” The original lineup included Robbie Robertson, Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, and Levon Helm. Before disbanding in 1977, The Band released seven studio albums and two collaborative albums with Bob Dylan, including “Planet Waves,” which peaked at number one in the US and Canada. The Band reunited in 1983 with all original members except Robertson returning and Manuel passing away in 1986. Despite a regularly fluctuating line-up, Helm, Hudson, and Danko remained permanent members until Danko’s death and The Band’s second breakup in 1999.
