Manfred Mann were a R&B oiutfit who were caught up in the beat music surge in the early to mid sixties. Originally formed in 1962 and called The Mann-Hugg Blues Brothers Band, with the acquisition of singer Paul Jones they changed their name and got their big break with their catchy beat number 5-4-3-2-1 being used as the theme introduction to a UK music television programme which showcased uo and coming performers. After two successful years Jones left in August '66 and a 'lookalike' Mike D'Abo fitted seamlessly into the group and the hits continued. By June 1969 the group had split to the consternation of their fans. However, by November the title founder member Manfred Mann had formed his own MANFRED MANN CHAPTER THREE reincarnation with session musicians, to be followed in 1971 by the more enduring MANFRED MANN EARTH BAND which although contained some 'historic' members of the original '60's beat group and recorded and toured well into the '90's is not to be confused with the original sixties beat combination.
