Dakota (U.S. band)
Dakota is a US based melodic rock group active during the late 1970s and early 1980s,〔http://www.dakotarockband.com/#!band/c10fk〕〔http://www.dakotajerrykelly.com/The%20Last%20Standing%20Man/mca.htm〕〔http://m.thetimes-tribune.com/lifestyles/reunited-dakota-to-release-new-album-the-long-road-home-in-september-1.1732721〕〔http://connections-magazine.com/Issue_PDFs/apr09/CMApr09-WEB.pdf〕 not to be confused with the British pop-rock band of the same name active from 2007–2010. Dakota first achieved moderate success with their 1979 self-titled album ''Dakota'',〔http://www.melodic.net/?page=interview&id=53§ion=comments〕 but the band's popularity increased rapidly while performing as the opening act for Queen on their 1980–1981 ''The Game Tour''.〔〔http://www.queenconcerts.com/support-bands.html〕 The band released their second and best-selling AOR album, titled ''Runaway'', in 1984.〔http://www.melodic.net/?page=review&id=2293〕 The band experienced several line-up changes during the 1980s and eventually stopped performing in 1987.〔 During the 1990s and 2000s original member Jerry Hludzik continued to record a number of records under the Dakota name, featuring guest musicians, friends and also his son Eli Hludzik. In 2014, original members Jerry Hludzik and Bill Kelly reunited and teamed up with Jon Lorance and Eli Hludzik to record a new Dakota album titled ''Long Road Home'', which was released on October 30th, 2015.〔〔〔
==Origins==
The origins of Dakota can be traced back as far as the early 1970s in North East Pennsylvania, USA, to a band called The Buoys and a million-selling single called ''Timothy''.〔〔http://standardspeaker.com/news/how-a-song-about-cannibalism-will-forever-be-linked-to-mining-disaster-1.1534003〕 The song, written by Rupert Holmes, was supposedly about the local Sheppton mine disaster of 1963 〔http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2005〕 and reached the Billboard Top 40 chart on April 17, 1971, remaining on the chart for eight weeks, peaking at #17, as listed in The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits by Joel Whitburn. The Buoys was spearheaded by lead singer and guitarist Bill Kelly and Jerry Hludzik on guitar and supporting vocals.〔〔http://www.discogs.com/artist/279804-Buoys-The〕
In 1978 Bill and Jerry left the group and teamed up as the Jerry-Kelly band, making use of members from popular local bands. That same year the band was signed to Epic Records to record ''Somebody Else's Dream'',〔http://www.escape-music.com/ESM023.htm〕 the first and only Jerry-Kelly album.〔http://www.westcoast.dk/artists/j/jerry-kelly-band/〕 By 1979, with the band's next scheduled release due, Columbia records insisted that the band change its name and after several options were discussed ''Dakota'' was chosen.〔〔http://www.hardnheavy.it/sito/Interviste/Dakota/01Dakota_eng.html〕 Jerry-Kelly drummer, Gary Driscoll, left the band in early 1980, leaving the band without a drummer.〔 Producers Danny Seraphine and Hawk Wolinski drafted in Rufus drummer, John Robinson, and produced Dakota's first self-titled album ''Dakota'', with the track ''If It Takes All Night'' becoming the band's first single to receive regional airplay, peaking at #78 on the Billboard Charts in 1980.〔〔
