The Mynah Birds were a short-lived R&B band based in Toronto, Ontario in the 1960's. Although the band never released an album, it is famous as one of the earliest efforts of a number of musicians who went on to be hugely successful, including Neil Young. The Mynah Birds grew out of a 1964 group called the Sailorboys, fronted by Rick James (born James Ambrose Johnson, February 1, 1948 in Buffalo, New York; died August 6, 2004) and also including guitarist Ian Goble, drummer Rick Cameron and bass player Nick St Nicholas (born Klaus Karl Kassbaum, September 28, 1943 in Hamburg, Germany).
