Ted Nugent

Ted Nugent (born December 13, 1948) aka the Nuge and "the Motor City Madman" is a guitarist from Detroit, Michigan, originally gaining fame as a member of the Amboy Dukes. Some of his best known songs include "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang," "Cat Scratch Fever," "Motor City Madhouse," "Great White Buffalo," "Stranglehold," and "Wango Tango."

Amboy Dukes

The Amboy Dukes' second single was "Journey to the Center of the Mind", which Nugent claimed he didn't know was about drug use. The Amboy Dukes (1967), Journey to the Center of the Mind (1968) and Migration (1969) sold moderately well, establishing a fan base for Nugent and the other Amboy Dukes. Personnel changes nearly wrecked the band, which became known as Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes. Though the group's studio recordings rarely sold well, the band managed to keep a large following.
