The Revols were a Canadian band from Stratford, Ontario, Canada, formed in 1957, with Richard Manuel on piano and vocals, John Till on guitar, Ken Kalmusky on bass, Doug Rhodes on vocals and Jim Winkler on Drums. Fourteen- and fifteen-year-old kids at the time, they were shortly adopted by Ronnie Hawkins, and together, and individually, paved international music history in the years to come.
