  CANOE -- JAM! Music - Pop Encyclopedia - Rhinoceros   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Rhinoceros continues with steady work in Toronto throughout the first few months of 1971, but the band finally succumbs and breaks up.
Hodgson joins Genya Ravan & Baby, while Fonfara and Weis appear on The Everly Brothers' album 'Stories We Could Tell'; Former member Alan Gerber signs a solo deal with Leon Russell's Shelter Records, travelled to Memphis, recorded an album, and toured with Russell before moving to Montreal, Canada.
He would later release the single "Tied On" which was quite successful in Quebec.

I mentioned in a past newsletter that I had the opportunity to sit in with singer Genya Ravan who fronted “Ten Wheel Drive” which was the first steady gig I had in 1969-70 and was one of the pioneering fusion groups.
Genya is a true blues singer right in the tradition who knows what she is doing in the studio where I overdubbed on her newest project.
She is also a very talented painter which can be observed on her website.

 Rhinoceros History
The final version of the group based itself in Toronto and played exclusively in Ontario (Fonfara knew he could book consistent work for the band there) but it did not last long; in October 1971 the group members decided to call it a day and went their separate ways.
Most of the band dropped out of sight, at least temporarily, although Leishman did take part in Mainline's tour of Australia with Frijid Pink and Hodgson found work with Polish-born singer Genya Ravan (formerly lead singer in Ten Wheel Drive) in her backing group, Baby.
After an eponymous album for CBS, released in the summer of 1972, Hodgson returned to Toronto to rejoin his former cohorts in a new band called Blackstone Rangers.
