Steve Gibson sang, played various combo string instruments, and was a main force behind the Five Red Caps, a top R&B combo for decades. There were variations on this group's name, extrapolations on the number of red caps or the theme of the cap itself, such as "topper". As the group and its sound became more and more influential, there were also inevitable splinterings, breakups, spawn-ups and reunions – meaning that what Gibson was involved in was, like all the lucky bands, both a way of life and a franchise.
