The American hard rock band Mountain was formed in 1969 by Leslie West, Felix Pappalardi, Steve
Knight, and Norman Smart. The year after, they released the debut studio album Climbing!, which peaked at #17 on the US Billboard Top Albums chart. It includes the group's best-known song, "Mississippi
Queen", and "Never in My Life". Both were sung by West, while Pappalardi supplied the vocal on another radio favorite, "Theme for an Imaginary Western" (co-written by
Jack Bruce). Climbing! is a true classic rock album, and it's available on black
vinyl and includes an insert.
