Diamonds

Diamonds are not the 50's group "The Diamonds" of "Little Darlin'" fame. There are however, several bands that go by this name: 1) Diamonds (Australia/Glasgow)
2) Asher "Diamonds" Gray (USA)
3) Diamonds (Canada)
1) Diamonds are an ex-Australian hard pop/noisy indie three-piece based in Glasgow. Aidan and Sarah packed up their equipment in Adelaide, Australia late 2007. Put it all in a shipping container and set it loose on an over sea voyage to Glasgow. All to play some real, raw and exciting rock music on the other side of the world.

Leon Thomas

Amos Leon Thomas Jr (born 1937, died May 8, 1999) was an American avant garde jazz singer from East St. Louis, Illinois. He changed his name to Leone in 1974. Thomas is best known for his work with Pharoah Sanders, particularly the 1969 song "The Creator Has a Master Plan" from Sanders' Karma album. Thomas's most distinctive device was that he often broke out into yodeling in the middle of a vocal. This style has influenced singers James Moody and Tim Buckley,among others.

misunderstood

The Misunderstood were a psychedelic group originating from Riverside, California in the mid-1960s. They moved to London in 1966, with the assistance of their manager, John Peel. In UK they recruited Englishman Tony Hill on guitar, thus forming an international rock-music group, preceding Hendrix[1]. American singer Rick Brown and new British guitarist Hill formed a prolific songwriting team, and their classics are credited to "Hill/Brown". Bass player Steve Whiting was also involved in song writing but never received recognition until the publication of Ugly Things Magazine #21 in 2003.

Eden Kane

Like Cliff Richard and Engelbert Humperdinck, Eden Kane was born in India, but returned to Britain as a child. He first created some interest for his talent, with an advertising jingle for Cadbury's, called "Hot Chocolate Crazy". This was played almost as often as Horace Batchelor's football pools advertisement on Radio Luxembourg. This was quickly followed in 1961, by his only number one hit in the UK singles chart - "Well I Ask You".
