Hookfoot was a British rock group active between 1969 and 1974, established by Caleb Quaye (guitar, piano, vocals) alongside three other session musicians from DJM Records: Ian Duck (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Roger Pope (drums), and David Glover (bass). In addition to their own work, the band frequently performed as backing artists for Elton John, contributing to the majority of his early recordings under DJM. Following their second album, David Glover was succeeded by Fred Gandy (bass), who had previously been part of Bluesology. The lineup occasionally featured additional musicians such as Bob Kulick (guitar, vocals), Mick Grabham (bass), and Peter Ross (harmonica, vocals).
