The Herd
This UK band originally formed in 1965 as a quartet featuring Terry Clark (vocals), Andy Bown (b. Andrew Steven Bown, 27 March 1946, London, England; bass), Gary Taylor (b. Graham Taylor, 28 November 1947, Walton-On-Thames, Surrey, England; guitar) and Tony Chapman (drums). Chapman was soon replaced by Andrew Steele (b. 2 August 1941, Hendon, London, England, d. 18 April 2005, Alaska, USA) and after several line-up shuffles, Bown took over on lead vocals and organ, occasionally relieved by the new guitarist Peter Frampton (b. 22 April 1950, Beckenham, Kent, England). In 1967, however, songwriting managers Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley were taken on in place of Billy Gaff and immediately promoted the reluctant Frampton to centre stage. A near miss with the psychedelic "I Can Fly" was followed by a portentous adaptation of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice (retitled "From The Underworld"), which became a UK Top 20 hit.
