Leather

Leather was a Canadian rock band active around 1970. The group released a single on the Leather label: “Wonderful” b/w “Come On Back” (catalog no. 1982X), distributed by Quality Records. The record entered the RPM 100 Singles chart on September 26, 1970, and gradually climbed to No. 70 by mid-October, reflecting growing airplay across Canada.

Both tracks were written by Jalsevac and Schoples, likely members of the band, though full lineup details have not been confirmed in archival sources. The songs showcase a melodic rock style typical of the early 1970s Canadian scene, blending pop sensibilities with faint echoes of the fading psychedelic era.

No additional recordings or press features are known for Leather beyond this single, making their brief chart presence a rare and collectible footnote in Canadian rock history.
