Manfred Mann's Earth Band is a progressive rock band that was formed in the early 1970s. The band's music is characterized by a fusion of different genres, including rock, jazz, blues, and classical music. The band's founder, Manfred Mann, was already an established musician in the 1960s, having had several hit singles with his previous band, Manfred Mann.
History
Manfred Mann's Earth Band was formed in 1971, after Manfred Mann's previous band disbanded. The original lineup included Manfred Mann on keyboards, Mick Rogers on guitar and vocals, Colin Pattenden on bass guitar, and Chris Slade on drums. The band's debut album, "Manfred Mann's Earth Band," was released in 1972 and included a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light," which became a hit single.
The band released several successful albums in the 1970s, including "Solar Fire," "The Good Earth," and "Watch." In 1976, Chris Thompson replaced Mick Rogers as the band's lead vocalist. The band's popularity waned in the 1980s, and they went on hiatus for several years.
In the 1990s, the band reformed and began touring again. They released several new albums, including "Soft Vengeance" and "2006," which received critical acclaim. The band continues to tour and perform to this day, with Manfred Mann as the only original member still in the band.
