Winnipeg's Bobby G. Griffith – and his band The Movement – released two unremarkable garage singles in the mid-60s before signing to MTCC Records in 1969. But shortly after the release of a debut album, 'Living On A Wishbone', the record label went bankrupt taking Griffith's album with it.

Griffith and manager Jules Rabkin headed to the US and negotiated a deal with Polydor for a new single called "709" in 1971 but the record did little to break him worldwide.

In 1972 he signed to the label that made Lawrence Welk famous, Ranwood, who released several singles for the singer throughout the early and mid-'70's.

Griffith formed a touring band to promote his recordings which featured Valentine Bent (guitar), Jimmy Carver (piano), Lou Fortin (bass), and George Dearling (drums).

Griffith did manage to gain some recognition in 1973 with his odd "The Badger's Song".
