About
Mississippi were an Australian soft rock band (1972–1975), which included Graham Goble on lead vocals and guitar, Beeb Birtles on lead vocals and guitar, and Derek Pellicci on drums. The band had started as Allison Gros in Adelaide in 1970 and moved to Melbourne in 1971 where they recorded as Allison Gros, Drummond and, early in 1972, became Mississippi. As Drummond they issued a cover version of "Daddy Cool" (July 1971), which peaked at No. 1 on the Go-Set National Top 40 for eight weeks. As Mississippi they reached No. 10 with "Kings of the World" (October 1972). In early 1975, with Birtles, Goble and Pellicci aboard and the addition of Glenn Shorrock, the group were renamed Little River Band.

Mississippi est un groupe australien de rock actif dans la première moitié des années 1970.
Ce trio est formé sous le nom de Allison Gros en 1970. C'est sous un autre nom, celui de Drummond, qu'il connaît son plus gros succès en 1971 avec une reprise humoristique de Daddy Cool (en) qui se classe en tête du hit-parade australien. Rebaptisé Mississippi, il publie un unique album studio en 1972.
En 1975, après une période de stagnation commerciale, les membres de Mississippi forment un nouveau groupe, Little River Band, qui devient l'une des formations musicales australiennes les plus populaires à l'international dans la deuxième moitié des années 1970.
