Mississippi were an Australian soft rock band (1972–1975), which included Graham Goble on guitar and lead vocals, Beeb Birtles on lead vocals and guitar, Derek Pellicci on drums and Kerryn Tolhurst on lead vocals and lead guitar. The band had started as Allison Gros in Adelaide in 1970 and moved to Melbourne in 1971 where they recorded as Allison Gros, Drummond and, early in 1972, became Mississippi. As Drummond they issued a cover version of "Daddy Cool" (July 1971), which peaked at No. 1 on the Go-Set National Top 40 for eight weeks. As Mississippi they reached No. 10 with "Kings of the World" (October 1972). In early 1975, with Birtles, Goble and Pellici aboard and the addition of Glenn Shorrock, the group were renamed, Little River Band.
