THE IDES OF MARCH - Vehicle

11/5/2015

The Ides Of March was a band formed by a group of teenagers in 1965 - their name was borrowed from a line out of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. In 1968, the group added a horn section, and in 1970 they released their most successful song - Vehicle. The song was the fastest selling single in Warner Brothers history. The song is a love story written by lead singer and guitarist Jim Peterik, which was inspired by a break-up line he spontaneously blurted out - "You know all I am to you is your vehicle." After the song became a hit, Peterik ended up getting back together with the girl he had written the song for. They have been married for over 30 years. In 1978 Peterik formed the group Survivor, and he co-wrote Eye Of The Tiger and all of Survivor's hits. Although he was lead singer for Ides Of March, Peterik didn't sing in Survivor.
