CD (?) To Mp3 160 mbit/s

Included: CD Covers and this Info



The Les Humphries Singers was a 1970s musical group formed in Hamburg, Germany by the English born Les Humphries (born
10 August 1940 - died 26 December 2007), who had been inspired to do his own version of the Edwin Hawkins Singers. The
group consisted of a large number of singers of diverse ethnic origin, some of whom such as John Lawton also performed
with other groups. Another member was Jürgen Drews; who later started a long-running solo career, starting with his
1976 hit in Germany, "Ein Bett im Kornfeld", a cover version of "Let Your Love Flow" by the Bellamy
Brothers.



Additional members included Liz Mitchell, later front woman with Boney M., and John Lawton, who also sang for the German
progressive/hard rock band Lucifer's Friend and would go on to be the frontman for Uriah Heep. The Les Humphries Singers
dissolved at the end of the 1970s, after Humphries had left due to tax liabilities to his English homeland,Alton
Hampshire.



Musical background and style

The Les Humphries Singers performed a mix of popular music and gospel covers and had some success in Europe with this
approach. Much like contemporary German act Boney M., their music focused on Rhythm and blues, gospel, and disco, but
often with psychedelic phasing or flanger effects on solos and bridges, and, much like James Last, much larger
background choruses in the studio to emulate a live atmosphere. The Les Humphries Singers at the time brought something
from the flair of the hippie movement into contemporary German-produced (but English-sung) pop music, especially due to
their mixed ethnic background and peculiar fashion sense.



Hits and later re-unions

Two of their earliest and best known hits were "Mexico" (1972) which was based on the 1957 Jimmy Driftwood
country hit "The Battle of New Orleans", and "Mama Loo" (1973), based on "Barbara Ann" by
The Beach Boys. In 1976 they represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest with the Ralph Siegel title "Sing
Sang Song", reduced to only six singers (their usual line-ups consisted of 20 performers and up), and came in 15th
place, which they regarded as their beginning of the end as a band.



They disbanded shortly thereafter the same year, but enjoyed a short comeback as a pure live act from 1991 until 1993
performing their old hits. In 2006, the original band members formed 'The Original Singers' without Humphries,
re-recording their old hits and also releasing new material.
