Mountain music biography continued...
Leslie West and was rounded out by bassist Felix Pappalardi, drummer Corky Laing, and keyboardist Steve Knight. Choosing the name Mountain, which no doubt was influenced by the line-backer size of Leslie West, their first album as a group, "Mountain Climbing" was released in early 1970. The LP received widespread praise from Rock critics and by August, had climbed into the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 200 chart, eventually becoming a million seller. Their first single, "Mississippi Queen", reached number 21 during a nine week run on the US singles chart. Their second album, "Nantucket Sleighride", released in 1971 also reached the Top 20 on the US album chart and although it did not yield a hit single, the title track was used as the theme to the UK political and current affairs television program Weekend World, which was aired between 1972 and 1986. The tracks "For Yasgur's Farm", "Never In My Life" and "Theme From an Imaginary Western" received moderate FM radio play, but Mountain never achieved another commercial success. Later in 1971, the band followed with a third album, "Flowers of Evil", which contained a live version of "Mississippi Queen", but failed to sell nearly as well as it predecessors. Following a live album titled "Mountain Live" in 1972, the band split up, but they would not lie dormant for long.
In 1974, a brief reunion featuring West and Pappalardi from the group's original lineup took place. After Pappalardi's death in 1983, West teamed up with Laing and Mark Clarke on bass to record an album before once again calling it quits. Laing worked as PolyGram's A&R vice president in Canada between 1989 and 1995, but in 1996, reunited with West and Clarke for a new Mountain album, Man's World. West and Laing teamed up again in 2002 for another album as Mountain, Mystic Fire. Their most recent album was 2007's Masters of War, featuring twelve Bob Dylan covers and a guest appearance from Ozzy Osbourne. Mountain continues to tour, and proudly carries the honor of being ranked Mountain number 98 on its 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock by VH1.
