Although in that respect was a tabla player and percussionist named Sam Gopal in this quartette, the true leader of Sam Gopal was Ian "Lemmy" Willis, aka Lemmy Kilminster, wHO was in beat and psychedelic bands in the sixties ahead joining Hawkwind and Motorhead. Sam Gopal played middling psychedelic rock 'n' roll with Eastern and blues influences, with Willis manipulation lead vocals, lead guitar, and much of the songwriting. That Eastern influence, such as it was, was most discernible in Gopal's tabla, unusual since the group's psychedelia much employed heavy guitar lines. Sam Gopal issued one album, Escalator clause, in the late sixties, and would likely be even more forgotten today had Lemmy non at rest on to greater fame.
