The More You Know, eh...
Rick James dodged the Vietnam draft and bolted to Canada. This led him to a band called The Mynah Birds, which featured Neil Young and Bruce Palmer. Not a very well known outfit, but I'm sure they partied hard in their short stint together.
Before Superfreak and Heart of Gold

Yes. I guess they just weren't on my radar until a few weeks ago.

That's one of my favorite bits of trivia, along with the fact that Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones were college roommates.

Also, for a while, Babe Ruth had the highest winning percentage of a lhp in world series history. Pettite may have snagged that though. The More You Know eh...

True - and The Mynah Birds, Jack London and the Sparrows, and Steppenwolf had a lot of personnel overlap, as well.
And of course, Stephen Stills was in Buffalo Springfield with Palmer and Young.

the members of Buffalo Springfield connect to a great many famous bands from the 60's and 70's

Also in that wiki link I posted, it says he played some evenings with Levon Helm and Garth Hudson when they were with the Hawks. Toronto was a very talented music scene circa late 60s.
