ROBSCURE & NOT SO ROBSCURE FACTS ABOUT DETECTIVE

Jimmy Page said of Detective:

 

That first album of theirs, it was really good. It should have been more popular, shouldn't it?

Kiss liked Detective so much that they actually considered recording "Ain't None Of Your Business", with Peter Criss on lead vocals. Demos exist of the Kiss version, but the song never made it onto a Kiss album or was ever played live.

 

Detective were on of the few bands signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song Label

"Dog" (real name, Sir Charles Weatherbee)

Detective might be best known for their appearence on the sit-com WKRP in Cincinnati, where they performed the song Got Enough Love as the fictional Hoodlum Band Scum Of The Earth.  Michael Des Barres performed as "Dog", aka Sir Charles Weatherbee, the fictional singer of the band.  Other actors appeared as the members of Scum, but it was the actual band Detective playing at the end of the show.
