History

The band was founded by Gary Dalton Stovall and Kent DuBarri Sprague,[1] who also went by the name Butch DuBarri. They were previously in a band called Boones Farm, who had released an album in 1972.[2]

As Dalton & Dubarri, they mainly played as support acts for artists such as The Beach Boys, Elvin Bishop, The Doobie Brothers, Loggins and Messina, Dave Mason, Boz Scaggs, and Rod Stewart.[3]

Their first two albums were the self-titled Dalton & Dubarri (1973) and Good Head (1974), both released on Columbia Records.[4] After failing to achieve a commercial breakthrough with either record, they were dropped by the label. They went on to publish Success and Failure for ABC records in 1976. This was followed by Choice in 1979, which included the hit song "I Can Dance All by Myself."
