Luther Grosvenor

Luther Grosvenor (nickname: Ariel Bender), was part of several rock bands of the 70s, among them: Spooky Tooth, Mott the Hoople, Gorgon Jakson, Hard Meat, Stealers Wheel and Widowmaker.

The album "Under Open Skies" is a very strong album by the Island recording artist who left Spooky Tooth and joined Mott the Hoople after that group left Island for CBS. "Ride On" begins the festivities with Grosvenor playing both bass and lead guitar; Spooky Tooth's Mick Kellie provides the drums; John Hawken is on piano; and harmonies are by Jim Capaldi of Traffic and the man Luther Grosvenor replaced in Mott the Hoople, Mick Ralphs.
