Biography
Mott the Hoople was an English rock band with strong R&B roots and dominant in
the glam rock era of the early to mid 1970s. They are popularly known for the
song "All the Young Dudes", written for them by David Bowie and appearing on
their 1972 album of the same name.
Mott The Hoople can be traced to two beat bands from Herefordshire in the early
1960s. The Soulents were from Ross-On-Wye, and boasted Pete Overend Watts on
guitar, and Dale "Buffin" Griffin on drums. The Buddies were from Hereford, and
featured Mick Ralphs on guitar and Stan Tippins on vocals. By 1966, Ralphs,
Tippins, and Watts (the latter now on bass) had come together in a band called
The Doc Thomas Group, and soon secured a residency at a club in a resort town in
Italy. The group were offered a recording contract with the Italian label Dischi
Interrecord, and released an eponymous album in January 1967. By 1968, drummer
Dale Griffin and organist Verden Allen had joined the band.
