This Shining Star award goes to basically a reunion of the Yardbirds.
Box of Frogs was an English rock group formed in London in 1983 by three former members of the Yardbirds, guitarist Chris Dreja, bassist Paul Samwell-Smith, and drummer Jim McCarty. The three musicians had last worked together in the Yardbirds before that influential band broke up in 1968, but they reunited in 1983 for a performance at London’s Marquee Club.
These are songs that contain the phrase “White Knight” in their lyrics.
“White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane emerged in 1967 as one of the defining psychedelic rock statements of the San Francisco scene, written solely by Grace Slick before she joined the band and first performed with her earlier group The Great Society, though the famous version appeared on Jefferson Airplane’s Surrealistic Pillow with a dramatic Spanish-bolero build influenced by Ravel’s Boléro
And the long grass blows in the evening cool
And August’s rare delight may be April’s fool
But think not of that, my love
I’m tight against the seam
And I’m growing up to meet you down on velvet green
