The group began as Fat City, a husband/wife duo of Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert.[1]
Danoff and Nivert co-wrote the song "I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado" and then, with John Denver, "Take Me Home, Country Roads" which became a hit single in 1971 and became an official West Virginia song.[2] The duo recorded two albums as Fat City, and two more as Bill & Taffy (Welcome to Fat City/Pass It On) all released from 1969-1974.[1] In the mid 1970s, Starland Vocal Band was formed and subsequently signed to Denver's label Windsong Records.
The album Pass It On, included such songs as "Do You Believe", "Didn't I Try", satirical "At Least We're Not Invading China" and "The Fat City High School Fight Song" and a tribute to The Everly Brothers, "Hey Loretta".[1]
