Jack Hawkins and His Orchestra “Your Favourite TV Themes” LP
Issued on Windmill, a budget label that makes MFP look like Blue Note. This is one of the many early 70’s cash-ins on the popularity of tube tunes. Like the rest, the cover features an illustrated montage of stars associated with the themes - did they all use the same designer? But unlike his peers, Mr Hawkins chose to tackle some less obvious material. “Bruce Forsythe and the Generation Game”? – I’m sure you won’t find that on any Geoff Love album. I was looking forward to hearing Jack’s attempt at the mighty “Shaft”, as well as the theme from “Kung Fu”, an old favourite of mine that I’d never come across on vinyl before.

Brian Howe

Their hit single although Brian Howe did not sing on it.

- Bad Company - Can't get enough -

Brian Anthony Howe (born 22 July 1953, in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England) is a British rock singer and songwriter, best known for replacing Paul Rodgers as the lead vocalist of rock group Bad Company. Howe's career was jump-started in 1983, when Ted Nugent recruited him to handle lead vocals for his Penetrator album, and front its subsequent world tour.
called The Firm, so the remaining two members hired Howe as the new lead singer, Greg Dechert on keyboards and Steve Price on bass. Howe’s vocal style brought more of a pop-rock sound to the band, as opposed to Rodgers’ more bluesy sound. The band hired Foreigner producer Keith Olsen to produce the new lineup’s initial album, 1986’s Fame and Fortune. The band also switched labels to Atco Records.
The next Howe-era album, 1988’s Dangerous Age was produced by Terry Thomas, who returned the band to a guitar-driven sound. This album fared better than its predecessor, spawning three songs that made the top 10 on Billboard's rock chart: "No Smoke Without A Fire," (#4), "One Night" (#9), and "Shake It Up" (#9). The last two were written by Howe and Thomas.
The band's next album, 1990’s Holy Water, also produced by Thomas, was a major commercial success, attaining platinum status in the U.S. by selling more than one million copies. It produced five singles that went top-15 on Billboard's rock chart, including the #1 hit "Holy Water" which was followed by "Boys Cry Tough" (#3), "If You Needed Somebody" (#2) and "Walk Through Fire" (#15). Ralphs sat out for most of the Holy Water tour, although he did perform on the album.
The final studio album of the Howe era, 1992’s Here Comes Trouble featured the Billboard #1 rock hit "How About That." Before touring in support of the album, the band expanded to a quintet, adding ex-Foreigner bassist Rick Wills and rhythm guitarist Dave "Bucket" Colwell, a protégé of Ralphs. During the tour, the band recorded a live album, What You Hear Is What You Get: The Best of Bad Company which featured hit songs from both the Rodgers and Howe eras of the band. Howe was ultimately fired from Bad Company after the release of the live album according to Simon Kirke for professional and personal reasons.
Solo Howe released his first solo album, Tangled in Blue, in 1997 on Touchwood Records. It was re-released with one additional song under the name Touch in 2003 on MTM Music and Publishing. Howe toured as "Bad Company former lead singer Brian Howe." His relationship with ex-bandmates Kirke and Ralphs has remained acrimonious.
In 1998, Howe was involved in a unsuccessful take-over bid for Portsmouth Football Club, and convinced Alan Ball to accept charge of the club, with the thought of Howe coming in to be the chairman.
In 2010 Howe plans on releasing a new solo album called " The Circus Bar" . The line-up of his current band is:
Brian Howe - Lead vocals
Dean Aicher - Guitar / Backing vocals
Miguel Gonzalez (bassist) - Bass / Backing vocals
Matt Brown (drummer) - Drums
