 Love
Affair
The Love Affair headed a new wave of British teeny groups in 1968
when they reached Number One with Everlasting Love, but
there was great controversy when it was revealed that only the
vocals were actually supplied by the group, and the rest of the
sound came from session musicians.
Despite the suggestion that the band were conning the public
they went on to score more hits including A Day Without Love,
One Road, Rainbow Valley and Bringing On
Back The Good Times.
The band finally split in September 1971, to be followed by
several entirely new line-ups formed by an imaginative management
. . .
Vocalist Steve Ellis eventually moved to Brighton and ended up
working on the docks. An accident with a forklift in 1980 chopped
his feet in half and kept him in and out of hospital for the next
eight years. He went back on the road as Steve Ellis's Love Affair
and toured until 1999.
Mick Jackson (bass) became the UK sales director for Alfa
Romeo. Morgan Fisher (keyboards) moved to Japan and built his own
studio in Tokyo. Rex Brayley (guitar) moved into the haulage
business. Maurice Bacon (drums) managed some of the later Love
Affair line-ups and now manages The Mediaeval Baebes.
