The Capitols formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1962 as the "Three Caps," with Samuel George as the lead vocalist and drummer, Don Storball (birth name: Don Norman) on backup vocals and guitar, and Richard Mitchell (birth name: Richard McDougall) on backup vocals and keyboard. After playing predominantly small gigs, they were discovered by Ollie McLaughlin after performing at a local dance headlined by Barbara Lewis.
