He moved to England and by the early Sixties met and played with fellow jazz musician Mike Hugg. After various name changes, Manfred Mann was formed in 1963. A string of hits followed. The group even managed to change its frontman, lead singer Paul Jones and still maintain their success. Other changes followed including the addition of Klaus Voormann and Jack Bruce.
Manfred Mann contained a wealth of talent including Manfred, Paul Jones, Mike Hugg, Mike Vickers, Dave Richmond, Tom McGuinness and also Mike d'Abo who wrote the classic 'Handbags and Gladrags'. The band quit when they were still at the top leaving a string of hits including 'Do Wah Diddy Diddy', '5-4-3-2-1', 'Pretty Flamingo' and a string of Dylan covers including 'Mighty Quinn'.
