Biografia:

O baterista Skip Prokop formou a Lighthouse em 1968 e logo após começou a adicionar membros: o guitarrista Ralph Cole (com quem Prokop havia tocado com a Paupers), Grant Fullerton, Pinky Dauvin, o saxofonista Howard Shore, o violoncelista Dick Armin, o violoncelista Don DiNovo, o tecladista Paul Hoffert, o saxofonista Keith Jollimore, o vocalista Bob McBride, o trompetista Peter Pantaluk, o trombonista Larry Smith e o baixista Louis Yackniw.

A banda lançou dois singles na RCA em 1970 e tocou nos festivais de Newport, Monterey Jazz e Isle of Wight, apesar de ter recusado o de Woodstock. No início de 1970, a gravadora GRT lançou o primeiro disco da Lighthouse, "Peacing It All Together". 1971 trouxe "One Fine Morning" e "Thoughts of Movin' On", e, em 1972, a banda lançou "Lighthouse Live!" e "Sunny Days". O grupo perdeu integrantes, começando em 1973, quando Paulo Hoffert saiu, seguido por Bob McBride e Skip Prokop, em 1974; e, finalmente, separou-se em 1976. Mas já tinha lançado "Can You Feel It" (1973), "Good Day" (1974) e "The Best of Lighthouse" (1975).

Membros originais reagruparam-se para shows ao vivo em 1982 e 1993, e outro álbum de grandes sucessos, "The Best of Lighthouse - Sunny Days Again", foi lançado em 1989. Seguiu-se "Postcards From Heaven" em 1998. Bob McBride e Skip Prokop tiveram carreiras solo de pouco sucesso. Infelizmente, Bob McBride perdeu sua batalha contra o abuso de drogas em 20 de fevereiro de 1998. Ele tinha 51 anos (John Bush, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
