It might have been an obscure theory in those days before the internet, but the rumor was that the lead singer was no other than Roger Daltrey who couldn't appear because of contracts with The Who's label.

I wonder now if those rumors were just a marketing ploy to sell more records. It worked anyway.

El Doomo was the single that got the airplay on AOR stations:
