Farlowe Real Name: John Henry Deighton. Chris Farlowe was born Essex on the
13.Oct.1940) is is one of the great underrated British soul & blues
influenced singers. Farlowe's musical career has one starting point in the John
Henry Skiffle Group and other similar bands. In 1962 the first single "Air
Travel" was released without much success. Around 1963 or 1964 'The
Thunderbirds' were formed and the band included the great guitarist Albert Lee
and keyboardist Dave Greenslade. The band recorded five singles on the UK EMI
subsidiary Columbia, but none made any impact on the charts. The singer was
generally believed to be black. Success came only after a move to the Immediate
label. The label was started by The Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham.
Accordingly Farlowe got to record a lot of Jagger/Richards compositions and some
of his records were produced by Mick Jagger. Out of 11 singles five had covers
of the Rolling Stones' songs on them. The third single released on Immediate
label "Out Of Time" made it to the top.
