Exile, originally known as The Exiles, is an American band founded in Richmond, Kentucky, by J.P. Pennington. They started by playing local clubs which led to touring with Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars opening shows and providing backup for major rock artists of the period. Their name was shortened to Exile in 1973, consisting of guitarist Pennington, leader/lead singer Jimmy Stokley, Bernie Faulkner B3 sax acoustic guitar, Billy Luxon trumpet, keyboardist Buzz Cornelison, bassist Kenny Weir, and drummer Bobby Johns.

In 1963, a group of high school students started a rock and roll band in Richmond, Kentucky. They called themselves the Exiles. Those original Richmond Exiles were Jimmy Stokley, Ronnie 'Mack' Davenport, Paul Smith, Mike Howard, Billy Luxon, J.P. Pennington, and Buzz Cornelison. Richmond native Danny Williams was also a member in the 1960s. Their chosen name may have resulted from the influx of Cubans into the United States after the Fidel Castro takeover in 1959. According to original Exile Pennington, "There were a lot of Cuban exiles coming across...the word was in the news and we felt we were also somewhat ostracized from the local society. We had long hair back then..."  Most of the Exiles were students at Madison Central and Madison High School in Richmond when the band formed and played together from 1963 to 1965. They were an offshoot of Ronnie (Hall) and the Fascinations. They were briefly known in those early years as Jimmy Stokley and the Exiles. Stokley (18 October 1943 - 13 August 1985) was the lead singer of the group and continued in that capacity until 1979. It is Stokley's lead voice that is prominent on Exile's 1978 Billboard pop music chart-topper, "Kiss You All Over".  When the Dick Clark Caravan Of Stars hit the road in 1965, they picked up the Exiles to perform on several dates in and around Kentucky. They continued touring nationally with the Caravan of Stars through to 1968; opening the show and providing back-up for headlining stars like Freddy Cannon, B. J. Thomas, Paul Revere and the Raiders and others.  In the early 1960s the Exiles recorded their first record in the studios of WEKY Radio Station in Richmond. Side one was named "The Answer to Her Prayers" written by Paul Smith, Jr. and the back side was called "Come On". The recording was produced by WEKY Radio DJ" Jimmy K" (Kincer) on his own record label "JIMBO Records". In the late 1960s, they recorded for both Date Records and Columbia Records, and in the early 1970s for SSS International, Date, Curb and Wooden Nickel record labels. With the help of Cecil Jones of Lemco Sound Studios in Lexington, the Exiles developed and polished their sound. The band scored regional hits such as "Devil's Bite" and "Church Street Soul Revival" (written and produced by Tommy James).

Exile, ursprungligen känt som The Exiles, är ett amerikanskt band grundat i Richmond, Kentucky, av J.P. Pennington. De började med att spela lokala klubbar vilket ledde till att turnera med Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars öppningsshower och ge backup för periodens stora rockartister. Deras namn förkortades till Exile 1973, bestående av gitarristen Pennington, ledaren/ledsångaren Jimmy Stokley, Bernie Faulkner B3 saxakustisk gitarr, Billy Luxon trumpet, keyboardisten Buzz Cornelison, basisten Kenny Weir, och trummisen Bobby Johns. 1963 startade en grupp gymnasieelever ett rock and roll-band i Richmond, Kentucky. De kallade sig för exilerna. De ursprungliga Richmond Exiles var Jimmy Stokley, Ronnie 'Mack' Davenport, Paul Smith, Mike Howard, Billy Luxon, J.P. Pennington, och Buzz Cornelison. Richmond infödda Danny Williams var också medlem på 1960-talet. Deras valda namn kan ha varit ett resultat av tillströmningen av kubaner till USA efter Fidel Castro-övertagandet 1959. Enligt ursprungliga Exile Pennington, "Det var en hel del kubanska exiler som kom över ... ordet var i nyheterna och vi kände att vi också var något utfrysta från det lokala samhället. Vi hade långt hår på den tiden..." De flesta av Exiles var elever på Madison Central och Madison High School i Richmond när bandet bildade och spelade tillsammans från 1963 till 1965. De var en utlöpare av Ronnie (Hall) och Fascinationerna. De var under de första åren kort kända som Jimmy Stokley och Exiles. Stokley (18 oktober 1943 - 13 augusti 1985) var gruppens sångare och fortsatte i den egenskapen fram till 1979. Det är Stokleys ledröst som är framträdande på Exiles 1978 Billboard popmusikdiagram-topper, "Kiss You All Over". När Dick Clark Caravan Of Stars slog till 1965 plockade de upp Exiles för att uppträda på flera datum i och runt Kentucky. De fortsatte att turnera nationellt med Caravan of Stars fram till 1968; öppna showen och tillhandahålla backup för headliningstjärnor som Freddy Cannon, B. J. Thomas, Paul Revere och Raiders med flera. I början av 1960-talet spelade Exiles in sin första skiva i studiorna på WEKY Radio Station i Richmond. Sido ett fick namnet "Svaret på hennes böner" skrivet av Paul Smith, Jr. och baksidan kallades "Kom igen". Inspelningen producerades av WEKY Radio DJ" Jimmy K" (Kincer) på det egna skivbolaget "JIMBO Records". I slutet av 1960-talet spelade de in för både Date Records och Columbia Records, och i början av 1970-talet för SSS International, Date, Curb och Wooden Nickel skivbolag. Med hjälp av Cecil Jones från Lemco Sound Studios i Lexington utvecklade och polerade Exiles sitt sound. Bandet gjorde regionala hits som "Devil's Bite" och "Church Street Soul Revival" (skriven och producerad av Tommy James).
