Michael Stanley
From the mid 70’s to the mid 80’s, the Michael Stanley Band enjoyed a strong and fiercely loyal following, touring with some of the superstar bands of that period (including Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles, Foreigner and The Doobie Brothers); there were several Top-20 and Top-30 hits, among them “He Can’t Love You” in 1980 and “My Town” in 1983, but it seemed the ‘one great hit’ never came the kind of chartbuster that saw acts like Bob Seger, Bryan Adams, John Cougar (now Mellencamp), make their names and hometowns, literally, household words.
In late 1982, MSB released what would be their final album for EMI: “You Can’t Fight Fashion”. The single, “My Town”, had made it to 29 on Billboard Magazine’s charts, sales were good, and the band was on tour, when EMI stunned the band by offering them an ‘extension’, rather than a contract renewal with a long-term financial committment. When Michael confidently ‘called their bluff’, their label pulled the plug, halting promotion and tour-backing immediately.
Although it was a financial blow that staggered the band, they gamely continued performing venues in the Northern Ohio and Midwest circuit, producing two independent releases, 1983’s “Inside Moves”, and “Fourth And Ten” in 1984 (recorded live at Blossom Music Center—a two nighter that saw the venue’s all-time attendance records shattered), before formally disbanding in late 1986, shortly after performing nine ‘farewell’ concerts at Cleveland’s Front Row.
