Little Caesar and the Consuls
- Little Caesar and the Consuls
Little Caesar and the Consuls were a Canadian rock music group, originally active from 1957 to 1971. Originally known as The Consuls, the band added Little Caesar to their name after a number of fans commented that lead singer Bruce Morshead resembled Edward G. Robinson in the film "Little Caesar".

The core of the group consisted of Morshead, guitarist Ken Pernokis, bassist Tom Wilson, drummer Gary Wright and saxophonist Norm Sherrat. Gene MacLellan and Robbie Robertson were also early members of the band.
The group recorded several Canadian hits, including "If I Found A New Girl" and covers of "My Girl Sloopy" and "You Really Got a Hold On Me", which reached #1 on the "RPM" charts in 1965, making them only the second Canadian group (after Chad Allan and the Expressions) to top that chart.
Morshead left the band in 1966. The band continued with new vocalist Steve Macko, and released several more singles before breaking up in 1971. They undertook brief reunions in 1973, 1976 and 1986. In 1993, Sherrat, Wright, Wilson, Macko and new members Vic Wilson and Tony Crivaro recorded a reunion album, "Since 1956".
