Įhart was replaced by Zeke Lowe and later Brad Schulz, Hope was replaced by Rod Mikinski on bass and Baker was replaced by John Bolton on saxophone and flute.
This early Kansas group, sometimes called Kansas I, lasted until early 1971 when Ehart, Hope and some of the others left to re-form White Clover. White Clover members Dave Hope (bass) and Phil Ehart (drums, percussion) joined with Livgren, vocalists Meredith and Greg Allen, keyboardists Montre and Wright and saxophonist Larry Baker. In 1970 they changed the band's name to Kansas and merged with members of rival Topeka progressive rock group White Clover. After leaving to form the band Saratoga with Lynn Meredith and Dan Wright, they started playing Livgren's original material, with Scott Kessler playing bass and Zeke Lowe coming in on drums. In 1969, Don Montre and Kerry Livgren (guitars, keyboards, synthesizers) were performing in a band called the Reasons Why in their hometown of Topeka, Kansas.
"Carry On Wayward Son" was the second-most-played track on US classic rock radio in 1995 and No. Kansas appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the 1970s and 1980s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. The band has produced nine gold albums, three multi-platinum albums ( Leftoverture 4×, Point of Know Return 4×, and The Best of Kansas 4×), one other platinum studio album ( Monolith), one platinum live double album ( Two for the Show), and a million-selling single, "Dust in the Wind". Kansas is an American rock band that became popular in the 1970s initially on album-oriented rock charts and later with hit singles such as " Carry On Wayward Son" and " Dust in the Wind".
