The Wheels were a 1960s R&B and blues-influenced rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, who came from the same music scene that produced the better-known band, Them, led by Van Morrison.[1][2] Their best-known membership consisted of Brian Rossi (keyboards and vocals), Rod Demick (rhythm guitar and vocals), Herbie Armstrong (lead guitar), Tito Tinsley (bass guitar), and Victor Catling (drums).[2][3] Morrison was a member of the band, briefly, before they became known as the Wheels.[2][4] They are best remembered for writing and recording the original version of "Bad Little Woman", later covered in America by The Shadows of Knight.[2]
