(Vocal/instrumental group, 1963–present)
Phil May (vocals) and ex-Rolling Stone Dick Taylor (guitar) formed this London R&B outfit in 1963. A long-haired reprobate image held instant appeal and they made the UK Top 20 with ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’ and ‘Honey I Need’. A few minor hits later, they signed off the singles chart for ever in 1966, and sales did not match critical acclaim for works such as S.F. Sorrow (1968) – unarguably the first ‘rock opera’ – and 1969’s Parachute, Rolling Stone magazine’s Album Of The Year.
