Les Humphries Singers, The - Collection '1970-2009

Tracks list

The Les Humphries Singers was a 1970s musical group formed in Hamburg, Germany
in 1969 by the English born Les Humphries, who had been inspired to do his own
version of the Edwin Hawkins Singers.
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.
In his later years, Humphries led a quiet life in London. In March 2008, the
German newspaper Bild reported his death on 26 December 2007 in a London
hospital from a heart attack after a severe bout of pneumonia.
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. Linda Thompson (born 21 September 1948 as Linda
Ãœbelherr), who had previously been a member of the Cornely Singers and Love
Generation, was a member from 1973 to 1974, and later joined Silver Convention,
and had a solo career as Linda G. Thompson, sang as a duo with Jerry Rix, and
later joined The Hornettes. Henner Hoier (born 19 April 1945), who was a member
from 1970 to 1971, had been a member of the Rivets from 1964 to 1968 and of the
Rattles from 1968 to 1970. From 1972 onwards, he had a solo career, and from
1988 to 1993 he was a member of the Rattles and from 1994 of the Rivets. He has
also composed and produced music, and appeared in the musical Only You.
Additional members included Liz Mitchell, later front woman with Boney M., and
John Lawton, who also sang for the German progressive/hard rock band Lucifers
Friend and would go on to be the frontman for Uriah Heep.
