Ted Lucas


Main image

Ted Lucas was a mainstay in the Detroit music scene throughout the '60s and '70s. He founded groups like the Spike-Drivers, the Misty Wizards, the Horny Toads, and the Boogie Disease. He also played guitar, sitar and harmonica on a number of Motown sessions, most notably Norman Whitfield and R. Dean Taylor productions. In 1975, he self-released a solo album, Ted Lucas, that received little attention in his lifetime.
Ted Lucas passed away on September 19, 1992. The Ted Lucas album was finally reissued by Yoga Records in 2010.
