Great Blues Artist born in UK lived since mid 70' s till his death in Canada. Started work with ALEXIS KORNER & CYRIL DAVIES and was in STEAMPACKET with ROD STEWART & ELTON JOHN. His first solo LP's are good english R&B.
But his first success was when he changed record label from UA to Pye and did some records in Tom Jones like sound
with 'Let The Heartaches Begin' charting at No.1 in UK.
On this recording was also joined by the great voice of KATHI McDONALD (the forgotten JANIS??) worked with a lot of Westcoast Bands too like QUICKSILVER etc and released to my knowledge only 2 Solo-LP's one on Capitol in beginning of the 70's and one on Hypertension (thanks Christian)
