Led by John Kay (born Joachim Krauledat, April 12, 1944), Steppenwolf's
blazing biker anthem "Born to Be Wild" roared out of speakers everywhere
in the fiery summer of 1968, John Kay's threatening rasp sounding a
mesmerizing call to arms to the counterculture movement rapidly
sprouting up nationwide. German immigrant Kay got his professional start
in a bluesy Toronto band called Sparrow, recording for Columbia in
1966. After Sparrow disbanded, Kay relocated to the West Coast and
formed Steppenwolf, named after the Herman Hesse novel. "Born to Be
Wild," their third single on ABC-Dunhill, was immortalized on the
soundtrack of Dennis Hopper's underground film classic Easy Rider. The
song's reference to "heavy metal thunder" finally gave an assignable
name to an emerging genre. Steppenwolf's second monster hit that year,
the psychedelic "Magic Carpet Ride," and the follow-ups "Rock Me," "Move
Over," and "Hey Lawdy Mama" further established the band's credibility
on the hard-rock circuit. By the early '70s, Steppenwolf ran out of
steam and disbanded. Kay continued to record solo, as other members put
together ersatz versions of the band for touring purposes. During the
mid 80s Kay re-formed his own version of Steppenwolf, grinding out his
hits (and some new songs) at oldies shows. Nevertheless, they'll be
remembered for generations to come for creating one of the ultimate
gas'n'go rock anthems of all time.
