Manfred Mann Career
He began his career along with his childhood friend Saul Ozynski recorded two albums as the Vikings, South Africa’s first rock and roll band. He opposed to the apartheid system in his native South Africa. He later relocated to the United Kingdom and in 1961 and began to write for “Jazz News” under the pseudonym Manfred Manne which was then shortened to Manfred Mann.
He then met Mike Hugg a drummer and keyboard player at Clacton Butlins Holiday Camp; they then formed a large blues-jazz band called the Mann-Hugg Blues Brothers. The band eventually evolved into a five-piece group, and they signed a record deal with EMI in 1963, under the HMV label.
They later changed the band name to Manfred Mann at the suggestion of the label’s record producer, and from 1964 to 1969 they had a succession of hit records, including “Do Wah Diddy Diddy” (originally by The Exciters), “Sha La La”, “Pretty Flamingo”, and “Mighty Quinn”. The group later broke up in 1969, and the man was forced to form another outfit with Mike Hugg, Manfred Mann Chapter Three, an experimental jazz rock band.
The group was disbanded after releasing two albums, but Mann formed a new outfit in 1971, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. The group hits included three Springsteen covers, “Spirit in the Night”, “For You” and “Blinded by the Light”, as well as a number of covers of other artists, including “Runner” (Ian Thomas), “Davy’s On the Road Again”, “You Angel You” (Bob Dylan), “Demolition Man”, “All Through the 80’s” and “Joybringer”. In 2016 he was featured as a jazz pianist in the 1969 Jesús Franco film Venus in Furs and performed the score for that film. He has also released solo projects under “Manfred Mann’s Plain Music” and “Manfred Mann ’06.
