Oklahoma was an American southern rock band formed in the late 1970s. The band was composed of Steve Crossley, Ben Blakemore, Don Juntunen, and Sam Flores. They recorded their self-titled album in 1977, which was produced by Terry Melcher and Mark Lindsay. Despite high hopes and significant production backing, the album and its single did not achieve commercial success, and internal band issues led to their disbandment shortly after the album's release.
