Taking its name from the Sly & The Family Stone song of the same name, Everyday People was created by Bruce Wheaton in 1970 after his band Stitch In Tyme split up. They were based in Yorkville, home of several members who came from acts like a reformed Jack London & The Sparrows (which featured David Hare and future Major Hoople's Boarding House member Ed Miller), but found their biggest popularity in the Maritimes where three of the members originated from including Pamela Marsh who had once been a member of Woody's Termites with April Wine member Myles Goodwyn.
Everyday People were signed to GRT Records in 1971. They released several singles that went Top-10 in the Maritimes, but got the band little recognition in Toronto. GRT was not promoting their records in the east and fans were frustrated not being able to buy the band's material. They disbanded shortly thereafter.
Wheaton later joined east coast band Molly Oliver whom he was with throughout the late '70's and early '80's; Marsh continued singing throughout Nova Scotia and continues with a successful solo career; Hare was an insurance broker for his own company and moonlighted as part of the duo A Positive Outlook; Paputts joined The Brtish Are Coming and The Fun Guys before becoming infamous with his alter ego Chris Hate of The Viletones and The Secrets.
