Answer:
Lee Michaels
Lee Michaels was born on November 24, 1945 in Los Angeles, CA. He plays organ, piano and guitar. His first band were from San Luis Obispo and named the Sentinals. He was signed to A&M Records in 1967 and released his debut LP, "Carnival Of Light", in 1968. His instrument of choice was the Hammond organ and for live shows he would usually be accompanied by a single drummer. The drummer he played with the most was Bartholomew Eugene Smith-Frost aka Frosty. He achieved moderate success but did not really break through to a larger degree until his fifth LP and his hit single "Do You Know What I Mean".
Frosty had an unusual drumming technique in that he often played barehanded (which influence John Bonham of Led Zeppelin). Frosty eventually left Lee however, joining a band called Sweathog, and Lee continues to play with different musicians to this day (2/2019).
