The League of Gentlemen

British invasion/soul Early-middle 1960's band that had the distinction of being the first group to which Robert Fripp belonged. Future King Crimson alumnus Gordon Haskell was also a member of this largely forgotten ensemble, who backed various American soul singers who toured England in 1964 and cut one single, "Each Little Falling Tear" b/w "And I Do Now," for EMI-Columbia in 1965, and had one subsequent release on the Planet label. Fripp later appropriated the name for a post-King Crimson ensemble. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
