History

King Khan's musical history
John Boy Adonis' musical history
Mr. Speedfinger's musical history

Sgt. Beppa left the band quite early.
Other very early incarnations of King Khan included people who were in Swoons, Les Montesas and/or the european live line-up of Calexico.
Percussionist Ron used to play with Ike & Tina Turner, Bo Diddley, Curtis Mayfield and many others ... ah yes, Al Jarreau, too.
"Three Hairs And You're Mine" and you're mine was recorded with The Sires as the band's backing choir.
