The Band was a Canadian-American rock band formed in Toronto, Ontario, in 1967. It consisted of four Canadians and one American: Rick Danko (bass, guitar, vocals, fiddle), Garth Hudson (organ, keyboards, accordion, saxophone), Richard Manuel (piano, drums, vocals), Robbie Robertson (guitar, songwriting, vocals), and Levon Helm (drums, vocals, mandolin, guitar). The Band combined elements of Americana, folk, rock, jazz, country, and R&B, influencing musicians such as George Harrison, Elton John, the Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton and Wilco.

They actually have 3 lead singers, Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel all sing lead on various songs. Danko’s It Makes No Difference is the most “heartfelt” song there is, you can feel the pain in his voice.
The lead singer / drummer on this is the legendary Levon Helms. The band is from Canada except of Levon, he's from Arkansas. He also played Lorretta Lynn's father in "Coal Miner's Daughter". This is one of my favorite songs of all time and can still get me a bit emotional. In their farewell concert, "The Last Waltz" they had the Staple Singers with them, and it would just give you chills. There is a compilation video of singers from around the world singing this that is outstanding. Also, their "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" is another story telling song describing the Civil War from a southern civilian's point of view.
You should watch The Last Waltz - a film of their concert. Filmed by Scorcese, and had a ton of great guests! Even if not for the channel, just from a historical perspective it's great!
Richard Manuel was the member who would sing the high notes. In the studio recording of this song he adds some notes that are so beautiful my heart breaks every time I hear him.
The best live version of this tune is on the Last waltz, their adieu live album.
Eric Clapton has credited “Music from Big Pink”, the debut album of The Band, and its revolutionary Americana sound as influencing his decision to leave supergroup Cream.
Levon was the best drummer/singer that ever lived. For what it's worth, "fanny" does not mean the same thing in North America as the UK, but no one is named Fanny anymore anyway.
If you wanna hear who the members of the band called their lead singer check out Tears of Rage from this concert. Sadly Richard Manuel is not shown once in this video. He’s actually the high harmony part in the weight.
Martin Scorsese directed the Last Waltz featuring the band's last show. It featured some of the greatest talents including, Bob Dylan, Emilou Harris, Neil Young, and Staple Singers. They wrote the Night they drove old Dixie Down.
Levon Helm survived throat cancer and it just made him more sound more soulful. Check out "Tennesse Jed" from the David Letterman show for a good example.
"Free, naturalistic sort of genre." You just nailed the essence of The Band.
Holy cow, how have you not heard THE BAND? They are one of the most influential bands ever!
Definitely should check out their farewell concert move The Last Waltz. It definitely has my favorite version of The Weight.
I think a big part of The Band's appeal back in the late '60s is that they were one of the groups that made country / hillbilly / southern / mountain music styles attractive again to rock audiences. I think many in those audiences had a longing for musical styles that were more than 10 or 20 years old. Their outward appearance and political sensitivities were definitely on the progressive/rock side, but they embraced the old style music traditions they grew up with.
Rick Danko, on Bass, had the most beautiful and powerful voice in this amazing band R.I.P.
Their version of this w/The Staple Singers accompanying them is the "gold standard" of the song.
Rick Danko. Love him. I can see how he's not in a vocal coach wheelhouse, but Stage Fright and It Makes No Difference are beautiful and awesome.
A true super-group...they created some great music that will live forever. Rick Danko always reminded me of the wild and crazy uncle that came over during the holiday's and made every day an event! Rest In Peace!
Between 1958 and 1963, the group was known as the Hawks, a backing band for rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins. In the mid-1960s, they gained recognition for backing Bob Dylan, and the 1966 concert tour was notable as Dylan's first with an electric band. After leaving Dylan they changed their name to "The Band". The Last Waltz is a must listen.
The rhythmic freedom in the singing comes directly from Levon playing the drums. His right hand is playing straight eighths on the high hat while most of his vocal phrases are swung/triplet based. This creates a looseness/tension (weird combo) that’s soooo compelling!
