Does anyone remember these British singers?

My favorite was Jethro Tull.

The largest of my vinyl catalog would be Jethro Tull. I have a good mention of them in this thread as well. 

I've seen Jethro Tull five times in concert. Final one was in 1995 on their 25th Anniversary. 

This was considered, An Evening With Tull. Great show, they all were excellent.

Do you mean my topic on Musicals is gone???   I'll take a look now.   A few weeks ago, my topic on Funny Commercials was put into the Trash....I mentioned that to George and he reinstated it.   I had no idea who would put my topic into the Trash!

Yeah, I couldn't find them on this list. I did find my articles on Elvis movies if interested. 

They are now in Controversial Issues.

Not a clue here either. It was a perfectly good topic.

Yes! This is a good one in my opinion. Thanks!

For the life of me I could not find it. Not even on Page 2.

Scotsman Jack Bruce was a singer/songwriter/bassist for bands like Cream; Mountain; West, Bruce and Laing; Robin Trower; and also as a solo artist.  His voice is distinctive and I became hooked on him when I got a free copy of West, Bruce and Laing, 2nd album.  Leslie West and he shared vocals.  This free record from Capitol Records drove me to Cream and Robin Trower.  Mountain is sometimes attributed with the birth of heavy metal.   But they were so much more than that.

Cream with Eric Clapton were a legendary power trio, Blind Faith as well. Both bands had just the right formula for some really terrific memorable tunes. White Room, was probably my favorite song by Cream, Presence Of The Lord, by Blind Faith. It's a wonder why neither band never lasted for very long. Perhaps solo careers were on the minds of Clapton, Bruce, and Winwood. Eric and Steve went on to much success. 

I had no exposure to Mountain until the triple LP set from Woodstock's Cotillion label. All the "best of" performances in August 1969. The moon landing occurred during this weekend as well, preempting all three major networks. Mountain was an immediate thumbs up. Robin Trower was also lead guitarist for Procol Harum. Another great band from the UK. Their first hit here in US was, Whiter Shade Of Pale. 

Performances of blues artists, Johnny Winter and Janis Joplin were not on Woodstock's LPs or films.

Just a little mention of "one-hit-wonders", The Honeycombs, from England were such a group. They came out with a smash hit song, Have I The Right, performing it on every talk and variety show in the United States. This charming Top 40 tune was pretty nice after all. The band had a female drummer adding to their notoriety. I recall KONG/AM radio played it every hour on the hour due to requests and promotions. Unfortunately, The Honeycombs had no follow up song to keep them on the charts. That made them plummet not long after. They wouldn't be the only ones. Numerous groups in the 1960's fell into this category.

There's a little known band I really like made up the Scottish duo the Sutherland Brothers and the remains of the rock band Quiver.  Because the hard rock radio stations I listened to in LA and my association with Capitol Records (Island), I became a big fan of the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver.  I still like them and have some of their CDs.  It's more soft rock than hard rock.
