In the spring of 1974, Buzz Shearman joined up with Earl Johnson , Bill Wade, and bassist Kim Fraser. Still calling themselves Leigh-Ashford, they made their first appearance on the music scene in October 1974 at Scarborough's notorious rock club "The Knob Hill Hotel". Shortly thereafter, Fraser was replaced by Terry Juric on the recommendaion of Earl Johnson and the group changed its name to Moxy. Their first single release was a trial run of "Can't You See I'm A Star", which was distributed by Yorkville Records. The promising sound of the single received heavy radio support from CHUM (AM) in Toronto and led to the band's signing of a contract with Polydor Records of Canada in December 1974. The Polydor Records contract was mainly due to the popularity and success of the former band, Leigh Ashford, and to Buzz Shearmans reputation. Buddy Caine was added to the group in 1975 after Tommy Bolin help record the bands first album.

Moxy then toured the United States on the strength of their radio airplay. Markets in which the band was very popular included Ontario, Canada, Chicago, Illinois, St. Louis, Missouri, Detroit, Michigan and San Antonio, Texas . Joe Anthony, the Godfather of Rock in San Antonio on KISS-FM was largely responsible for the popularity of the band in south Texas and helped bring about their first headline appearance in the U.S in 1977, appearing with AC/DC.

Talk about anti-Canadian discrimination -- this song is as good as any of the major US hits at the time. If a well-known US band had put out this song, it would have been a Billboard top 10 hit.

Another Classic MOXY song!

Great stuff....

[figbat1]

They are hardly known in Brazil, pitty.

No hard rock bands were generating top ten hits at the time, they rarely do; it was the disco era. "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen only made it to #18, and it's one of the most well know rock anthems of all time. Trust me when I say real rock and roll fans knew about and listened to Moxy, still do...

@moondog6969 Don't be sorry -- I'm happy to hear that a Canadian band had success in the US. :)

[moondog6969]

@7beers I know you posted this a year ago, but this tune was huge in Texas, in fact they had more charting in the US then they did here in Canada so.....you be wrong!! sorry!!

@7beers

I still have 4 LP albums by this band. Way ahead of the curve in the 70's. Those of us that loved them then still love the sound now. 

[petro905]

@7beers You are spot on , these guy were ( are ) awsome !

[maurinquina1]

so good, sounds as good now as it did 30 years ago? i am old now, remember buying this album, they played my high school!

My older sister somehow stumbled across this album when it came out. Almost ever song is killer. As far as I know, they never got any airplay in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
