The Prime Movers were a blues band based in the Detroit area, formed in 1965. Robert Vinopal left soon after the band's formation and was replaced by Jack Dawson. James Osterberg, who would later be known as Iggy Pop, took over the drums not long after. The band was renowned for being very dedicated to the blues and often went down to Chicago to watch blues musicians play. Iggy left the band in early 1967 and was replaced by J.C. Crawford. During their career, they made numerous recordings, but they never released an album. The band disbanded in 1970 and the members went their separate ways.
