King Errison (conga drums) Ballin' Jack (stylised as Ballin'jack) was an American horn rock group formed in Seattle, Washington in 1969 by Luther Rabb (bass and vocals) and Ronnie Hammon (drums). They had a minor hit in 1970 with "Super Highway", https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZdGz... which hit #93 on the Billboard Top 100. Rabb and Hammon were inspired by the success of their childhood friend Jimi Hendrix. They added Glenn Thomas on guitar, and on the horns, Jim Coile and Tim McFarland. They moved to Los Angeles, California, and lived in a mansion home-studio near the Sunset Strip. Hendrix asked the group to come along with him on his 1970 "Cry Of Love" tour.

From 1969 to 1974 Ballin' Jack headlined up and down the West Coast. They went on nationwide US tours warming up for many of the bands at venues like the Fillmore East and West. They were on the bill of several large music festivals of the era. When they played the Troubadour in Los Angeles in 1972, Billy Joel was the opening act.[2] Ballin' Jack also played in Japan, where they were well received.[3]

By 1975, the band had decided to break up.[4] Luther Rabb later toured with Santana, and both he and Ronnie Hammon later played together again as members of "War" The Music band.
