The Shadows of Knight are an American rock band, formed in the mid-1960s, best known for their garage rock and blues-influenced sound. Noted for their regional adaptation of the British Invasion, they are remembered primarily for their hit version of the song "Gloria". The band's original lineup, featuring vocalist Jim Sohns, made significant contributions to the genre later known as "garage rock". Their gritty, raw sound, often described as a blend of British beat influences and Chicago blues, was a distinctive characteristic that set them apart in the rock music scene of their era.
