In Memoriam: Bobby Harrison (1939 – 2022)

Robert Leslie Harrison (June 22, 1939 – January 7, 2022) was an English drummer and singer who was best known as an early member of the progressive rock band Procol Harum. Harrison was born in East Ham, London, on 22 June 1939. He was an early member of Procol Harum, but shortly after their 1967 hit single “A Whiter Shade of Pale” was released, he and guitarist Ray Royer left the group to form…

Bobby Harrison (ex Snafu, Procol Harum & Freedom)  "Funkist" 1975 UK Heavy Funk,Blues Rock (feat Black Sabbath Tony Iommi & Deep Purple Ian Paice)

Great, soulful vocalist, a pity the solo album by ex-Procol Harum and Freedom drummer/singer is a patchy effort, with a few winners but some fillers too. "King of the knight" is a great piece of work, with one of the few collaborations made by Tony Iommi in another artists albums in the 70's. Strangely enough the album wasn't released in Europe nor UK existing only the US pressing, very common a few years ago....metaxa ...~ This is a fine album of Funk/Rock tunes played with the utmost of energy and sung with incredible gusto! Harrison is a powerhouse singer and really gives this thing it's life. That, alongside some cranking riffs throughout and a fantastic rhythm section make this a real solid album. Rather than spoiling it with inconsistency, the blend of styles keeps it interesting and well rounded as we begin with straight out funk and ending side 1 with an almost Progressive Metal (a'la Deep Purple) vibe. This has gotta be the one with Tony Iommi that fleshgrind was talkin about. Whilst this has some funky rhythms and opens with Joe Simon's 'Cleopatra Jones' (which is bloody awesome btw) Funkist is a misleading title and this is more of a Rock album with some Boogie Blues mixed with some Glam Rock (T-rex) influences. ....I dig it!...by...siren05 ....~ Singer/songwriter and drummer Bobby Harrison’s history can be traced back to the late fifties and the legendary Brentwood group The Rockefellas. Subsequently, during the early part of the sixties, he was in Golden Apples Of The Sun, who signed to Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate label and released one single, Monkey Time, in 1965. Following that, Harrison formed the CBS-signed Powerpack, who put out two singles in 1966 and 1967. Backed by famous jazzer Ronnie Scott, Bobby also released his first record in his own name for CBS in the mid-sixties, a version of the song Sonny. Harrison then became one of the original members of Procol Harum during the spring of 1967, when the group recorded their famous No 1 single, A Whiter Shade Of Pale. However, at the same time as the record was at the top of the charts all over the world, Harrison and the band’s guitarist left the group to form their own outfit, Freedom. Considered to be the "missing link" in Bobby Harrison’s career between the two legendary bands Freedom and Snafu, the solo album Funkist has previously only been available on vinyl in the US. With this Angel Air release the rest of the world can now finally catch up with not just Bobby Harrison in top shape, but also a bunch of top notch British rock legends. The material had basically been written for Freedom, but at that time Bobby started to go in a different direction. He wanted to get away from straight R’n’B and more into mixing the R'n'B with funk. Funk was happening then with The Average White Band, War, Redbone and Little Feet. In the early eighties, after Snafu had folded, Bobby decided to move to Iceland. There he got involved with many musical activities and also teamed up with local supergroup Mezzoforte. With this group he recorded the wonderful Solid Silver album, a collection of R&B classics displaying his excellent abilities as a singer. ....by Claes Johansen....~ Musicians

Tramline – “Moves of Vegetable Centuries” (14)

Buying the albums sampled on “You Can All Join In”.

More today from Chris Welch’s 2008 notes in the CD insert:

““Ron was a big blues fan and maybe he’d read about Harriet’s Railroad on an album sleeve note.  Sadly, there was no way Ron or Colin could join Tramline, as they were playing with Eric Delaney’s band and they were planning to launch Back Door.  So Tramline was finished, but there was…
