Manfred Mann
Born Michael Lubowitz in South Africa, Manfred Mann formed a group in
Britain in 1963 called The Mann-Hugg Blues Brothers. Shortening their
name to simply 'Manfred Mann' they made the charts early in 1964 with
their third single 5-4-3-2-1, which was adopted as the theme
tune to the TV music program Ready Steady Go.
The group became one of the top British groups in the early 60s
R&B boom with several significant hits, including Doo Wah Diddy
Diddy, If You Gotta Go and Pretty Flamingo.
After
Mike Vickers and Paul Jones left in 1966, singer Mike d'Abo joined and
the band continued to turn out hit after hit, including Just Like A
Woman, Semi-Detached Suburban Mr Jones, The Mighty
Quinn and My Name's Jack.
Mann wanted more than being part of a hit-making machine and formed a
new band, Manfred Mann Chapter Three, which played an interesting kind
of slow, heavy rock featuring a brass section. In 1971 Mann formed his
Earth Band.
