Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexSure, i still have their vinyl album , Nightingales and Bombs, which includes many good songs.
I expect most people will be too young (or too foreign) to have heard of this 60s English band, but I saw them playing tonight and they were pretty good, I have to say.
Are there any others of you who had heard of them before?
Well, I hope I'm not one them.
Some musicians that have played with Manfred Mann band: Jack Bruce (just before starting Cream), Klaus Voorman (played with Beatles and many English and American bands.)
Most of Manfred Mann's singles were covers: Mighty Quinn was written by Bob Dylan, Blinded by the Light is by Bruce Springstein. Others: Do Wa Diddy, Sha LA LA, Just Like a Women, Smokestack Lightnin'
