Biography
Thom Schuyler, J. Fred Knobloch and Paul Overstreet were three well-known songwriters who got together to form a band, Schuyler, Knobloch & Overstreet. After the release of their first single, they shortened their name simply to S-K-O.[1] When Overstreet left the group in 1987 to pursue a solo career, he was replaced by Craig Bickhardt (who had almost joined the country-rock band Southern Pacific early that same year) and they changed their name to Schuyler, Knobloch & Bickhardt. S-K-B disbanded when their record label, MTM Records, shut down in 1989.[2] Since then, Thom Schuyler became the vice president of RCA Nashville (a position from which he retired in 1994), while Knobloch and Bickhardt continued their songwriting careers.[3]
