*2025 stock. LP-Style Miniature Sleeve CD reissue with OBI strip.* Lighthouse, though not a typical late-60s rock band, captured the era's free-spirited and complex ethos. Founded by Skip Prokop, who envisioned blending jazz horns, strings, and rock, the band quickly gained traction. Skip, previously with The Paupers, teamed up with Paul Hoffert and guitarist Ralph Cole to form Lighthouse.
Their 1969 debut, recorded after a surprise MGM signing, set the stage for a whirlwind career. Despite early struggles with U.S. airplay, Lighthouse built a strong live reputation, even turning down Woodstock. In 1970, they released Peacing It All Together, refining their signature sound and earning critical praise. The following year, with new vocalist Bob McBride, One Fine Morning propelled them to international success. Hits like Sunny Days and Pretty Lady soon followed.
By 1973, exhaustion and personnel changes—most notably McBride’s departure—led to a decline. Their final major album, Good Day (1974), saw limited success. Prokop left in 1975, and the band disbanded the following year.
Lighthouse reunited multiple times over the years, drawing huge crowds and securing their legacy as one of Canada's greatest rock acts.
