They are best known as the band of future music executives Benny Medina and Kerry Gordy.
The group's moniker was changed to Apollo after the creators of the superhero refused to let the band use the name they created.
"[1] The band consisted of keyboardist Kerry Gordy, drummer Lenny Greene (who replaced original drummer Chico Ross, brother of Diana Ross), bassist Cliff Liles, vocalist Benny Medina and guitarist Larry Robinson.
They also had a successful two-week tour in Japan, but Motown's interest in the band waned and pulled the plug before they could start on a second album.
[1] Cliff Liles did re-emerge a few years later as a member of the rock band Kagny and the Dirty Rats, which recorded a self-titled album on the Motown label.
