Gypsy is a progressive/hard rock band from Leicester, East Midlands, England, United Kingdom, that was formed in 1965 under the name Legay. In 1968, the band changed its name to Gypsy. Not to be confused with Gypsy from the USA.
The band originated in 1965 as Legay, a Leicester R&B–beat combo that performed Tamla–Motown covers on the Midlands club circuit. They featured guitarist–singer Robin Pizer, bassist Dave McCarthy, and guitarists John Knapp and Rod Read. Their namesake, drummer Legay Rogers, left early for health reasons.
In 1967, Legay briefly employed Rob Townsend (en route to Family). The Townsend lineup recorded songs by Pizer (“You’re On My Mind”) and Read (“Impartial Judge”).
Legay hired drummer David “Moth” Smith in time for their February 1968 Fontana single “No-one,” an intense fuzztone psych rocker backed with “The Fantastic Story of the Stream-Driven Banana,” a jaunty harmony pop song.
A. “No-one”
B. “The Fantastic Story of the Steam Driven Banana”
Pizer wrote both songs and the vaulted “High Flying Around,” one of four tracks (along with Read’s “Minstrel Boy” and the two Townsend-era tracks) on a 2015 Legay archival EP on Circle Records.
Legay renamed itself Gypsy Moth (after Smith’s nickname). At the behest of manager Peter Swales, they shortened the name to Gypsy.

Gypsy was an American progressive rock band from Minnesota, formed as The Underbeats (1962–1968). Gypsy was the house band at the Whisky a Go Go, West Hollywood, California from September 1969 to April 1971 and were known in 1970 for their US Billboard Hot 100 single "Gypsy Queen Part 1", which peaked at #62. The track "Dead And Gone" was played extensively on KSHE 95 in St. Louis MO, KADI-FM in St. Louis MO, and KWK St. Louis. Most of Gypsy's music was composed and written by guitarist and singer Enrico Rosenbaum. Drummer Bill Lordan went on to play with Sly & the Family Stone and a long career with Robin Trower. Keyboardist James Walsh continued the band in various incarnations as The James Walsh Gypsy Band. The James Walsh Gypsy Band had one Hot 100 entry in 1978 with, "Cuz, It's You Girl" which peaked at #71.
The group has no relation to the British band of the same name formed in 1968, who recorded two albums for United Artists Records in the UK.
Jim Johnson died of esophageal cancer in hospice care on September 26, 2019, at age 76. James '"Owl" Walsh died of congestive heart failure at hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on March 4, 2023, at age 74.
In the Garden is the second album by the progressive rock band Gypsy, their second for Metromedia. It peaked at #173 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts in 1971, and was produced by Clark Burroughs of vocal group The Hi-Lo's.
