U-Rick James kunye no-Neil Young owaziwayo ngaphambili baseke iqela le-1960 laseMotown elibizwa ngokuba 'Iintaka zeMynah'. Ibhendi yakhulula enye, 'Goin' Down to Liverpool, engakwaziyo ukwenza itshathi. Ibhendi yaqhekeka kungekudala emva koko, kunye noJames noYoung baya kuba nemisebenzi eyimpumelelo kumculo.

Ngaphambi kokuba uNeil Young kunye noRick James baqhubeke babe ngamagama asekhaya ngokwabo, bobabini badibana eToronto ngo-1965 emva koko bajoyina ibhendi yaseMotown ebizwa ngokuba yiMynah Birds. Ukuba ibingekuko ukubanjwa kwangethuba, eli qela lilityelweyo ngebelihlile kwiNtaba yeRushmore yembali yerock and roll. Nangona kunjalo, akuzange kube njalo kwaye imisebenzi yala madoda mabini yaphambukela kumacala ahlukeneyo.

Xa bobabini badibana, u-Young wayeyi-troubadour encinci ekhenketha eCanada njengomculi oyedwa. Ngelixa wayedlala eToronto, ithuba lokuhlangana noBruce Palmer-owayeya kuqhubekeka ukwenza iBuffalo Springfield kunye noLutsha-wayeya kubona imvumi yabantu ehlangene nomculi we-bassist kunye nomphefumlo, uRick James, njengenxalenye yeMynah Birds. Umanyano, olwaluyinto eyothusayo, ludibanisa iimvumi ezintathu ezidumileyo zaziza kuba kwindawo enye. Umncinci, nangona kunjalo, wayekwisixeko esifanelekileyo ngexesha elifanelekileyo njengoko uJames, owayesandula ukubalekela eToronto, wayezama ukubaleka ukuba aye kumkhosi wamanzi waseU.S ekwishumi elivisayo.

UJames, owayedlala phantsi kwegama elingu-Ricky James Matthews ngelo xesha, wayezama ukurhoxa ekuzibandakanyeni noMkhosi waManzi waseMelika emva kwezigwebo ezininzi xa wayekwishumi elivisayo ngenxa yobusela. Emva kokuphoswa ngokuqhubekayo kwiiseshoni zakhe zokugcinwa kweenyanga ezimbini, uJames wazifumana wayalelwa ukuba akhonze eVietnam waza wafikelela kwisigqibo sokuba ukubalekela eToronto kwi-swinging sixties ukuqala ibhendi kwakuyindlela ephezulu.

Ukulandela i-bassist uBruce Palmer eqesha abancinci kwiiNyoni zaseMynah, kungekudala baya kusayinwa yiMotown Records edumileyo. Nangona kunjalo, izinto azihambanga njengoko bekucwangcisiwe ngenxa yeemeko kwaye akukho cwecwe lide lide likhululwe liya kuze likubone ukukhanya kwemini. Isandi sebhendi yayiyi-fusion ekhethekileyo yemvelaphi kaJames 'Motown kunye ne-Young kunye ne-Palmer's garage rock eyenza i-sonic formula-eyayifanele iqhubele phambili ukuba ibe ngumnye wabaculi abachazayo bexesha.

Umbhali webhayoloji kaNeil Young, uJimmy McDonough, wakha wagqabaza kwincwadi yakhe Shakey : Iintaka zaseMynah—ezinxibe iibhatyi ezimnyama zesikhumba, iiturtlenecks ezityheli, neebhutsi—zazinomboniso omangalisayo. Iqela lomculo lalixhaswe ngemali nguJohn Craig Eaton wecandelo lolawulo lwevenkile ye-Eaton. Intsomi ithi wagalela imali kwiqela, eseka iakhawunti engenasiphelo kwiimfuno zezixhobo zebhendi.

I-Rolling Stones, mhlawumbi ngokungamangalisiyo, yayinempembelelo enkulu kwiqela ngelo xesha. Ngokukodwa ngakumbi, kufuneka kuthiwe, kuRick James obonakala ehlala ethelekisa noJagger. Umncinci waxela oku malunga naMatye kwiminyaka kamva Shakey : Siye saya ngakumbi nangakumbi kwindlela awayepholile ngayo aMatye. Indlela ababelula ngayo kwaye yayipholile.

Izinto zaziza kuba mbi ngo-1966 xa umphathi weqela ekubonakala ukuba ‘waphulukana’ nemali awayeyifumene eMotown waza wagxothwa ngenxa yale ngxaki. Ukulandela ingxabano kunye nebhendi malunga nezimali, umphathi wazisa uMotown ukuba uJames wayeyi-AWOL evela kuNavy. Emva koko umculi wabanjwa waza wavalelwa nguNavy, isiganeko esakhokelela eMotown ukuba alahle izicwangciso zokukhupha i-albhamu yeMynah Birds.

Ngokuphawulekayo, uPalmer wayeya kuvuma kamva ukuba iqela 'lalicinga ukuba liyiKhanada' elenza inyaniso emva kukaYakobi 'yangaphambili iyamangalisa. Ukulandela ukuvalelwa kwemvumi, oNcinci kunye noPalmer bebengazi ukuba benze ntoni ngokulandelayo. Emva koko, ngokukhawuleza, bagqiba ekubeni bapakishe iibhegi zabo, bathengise izinto zabo kwaye baqhubele eLos Angeles-isigqibo esakhokelela ekubeni iBuffalo Springfield izalwe.

Apha ngezantsi, hambisa umzekelo wezinye ezirekhodiweyo zeMynah Bird.
