The Band is a Canadian-American rock group formed in Toronto, Ontario in 1968. The original members of the group were Robbie Robertson, Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, and Levon Helm. The Band's music combined elements of rock, folk, country, blues, and gospel, and was strongly influenced by the regional music of the southern United States.

The Band's most acclaimed and successful album is their 1968 debut, Music from Big Pink, which was recorded in the basement of a pink house in West Saugerties, New York. The album featured the singles "The Weight" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". The Band's second album, The Band, featured songs such as "Up on Cripple Creek" and "Rag Mama Rag".

The Band's final album, Rock of Ages, was released in 1972 and featured songs such as "The Shape I'm In" and "Life Is a Carnival". In the years since its release, Rock of Ages has been cited as one of the greatest live albums of all time.

One interesting fact about The Band is that their song "The Weight" has been covered by over 100 different artists, including Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson.
