In 1965, the Tradewinds adopted a new name, TW4, after another group calling itself the Trade Winds (two words) gained national presence. Four years later, Tom Nardini left TW4 and was replaced by John "J. C." Curulewski, a college friend of DeYoung and the Panozzos.

J. Y., as I said earlier, joined TW4 in 1970; two years later, at the suggestion of the group's first record company, Wooden Nickel, the name of the band was changed to Styx.

Because, actually, J. Y. was the last member to join Styx, in 1970, while it was still known as TW4. So that would mean that when Styx began performing under the name Tradewinds in 1961, only DeYoung (on vocals and accordion) and the Panozzos (Chuck on guitar and John on drums) were the original members. After Tom Nardini joined on guitar, Chuck switched to bass and Dennis switched from accordion to organ and piano.

Both James Young and Tommy Shaw, as I said before, didn't exactly approve of DeYoung's concept-album styles and wanted to retain the group's hard-rockin' edge. After they drafted Scots-Canadian keyboardist Lawrence Gowan in DeYoung's place, DeYoung promptly sued the band for control of its name; however, when DeYoung performed a live concert in which the promoters billed him as "the voice of Styx," he was countersued by Shaw and Young.

He was unceremoniously removed from the band in 1999. What happened was this: he was suffering a temporary issue that caused him to be sensitive to light, and wanted his bandmates to delay the tour until he felt better. They did not want to wait, and they were also reportedly not fond of his Broadway and concept-album styles of the past, which in the case of the 1983 album Kilroy Was Here and its subsequent tour, caused the group to break up temporarily.
