Description: Franz Beckerlee and Wili Jønsson had known each other since they were boys, and as both played music they wanted to form a band together. While Beckerlee had been brought up without much love by his grandmother and grandfather, he felt warmth in Wili's home. Kim Larsen joined them after reading an ad which was put up at Christiania.

From 1972 to 1978, Gasolin' was the most popular rock band in Denmark. Kim Larsen would go on to become a very successful solo artist.
