Pilot


Singer/bassist David Paton and keyboardist Billy Lyall were both former members of The Bay City Rollers.

Once the hit singles started drying up, Pilot seemed to lurch from crisis to crisis. First, keyboard player Billy Lyall left to record his own album, and then drummer Stuart Tosh quit for "domestic" reasons. 

Tosh stuck around long enough to play on the group's third album, Morin Heights (1976), which was recorded in Canada (at Morin Heights Studios - hence the title) with Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker.
