Review by the very eloquent 'DrProgensteinphp" from rateyourmusic.com! Thanks Dr!
"Before forming this great band, "Canadian guitar wizzard 'Walter Rossi' had cut his teeth in the late 60s with some pretty big names like, 'Wilson Picket', and 'The Buddy Miles Express', where he contributed lead guitar to Buddy's original version of 'Them Changes' (the song).
He even turned down offers from 'Three Dog Night' and 'Janis Joplin'.
Walter also had the pleasure of jamming with Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Miles during their 'Band of Gypsies' days.
Then back in Canada, Walter co-founded the progressive/psych rock band 'Influence' in 1968/69. After being signed by ABC records, they went on tour opening for 'The Doors', and 'Steppenwolf'.
In 1971 he formed 'Charlee', The band released one album that year, self-titled.
The 'Charlee' album is one of the best examples of early 70's heavy rock you will ever hear, so I highly recommend it!
Don't get them confused with the UK band 'Charlie' (different spelling).
After the album was released, David Bowie's manager 'Tony Defries' heard Walter playing in the studio one day. An offer was made to join Bowie's band for the 'Ziggy Stardust' tour, but Walter had made up his mind to stay in Montreal close to his Father, who was ill at the time.
Walter then went to Toronto, where he met up with 'Luke Gibson', and joined his band 'Luke and the Apostles' in 72/73, who were quite successful.
Here's a really good Walter Rossi interview: http://tinyurl.com/2nvpvk
Walters solo LP's which came out between '76 & '80 were great too, and are worth checking out, though they are not quite as heavy as this monster!"
