History

Manfred Mann formed in London in 1962, growing out of a blues-jazz outfit called the Mann-Hugg Blues Brothers, led by South African-born keyboardist Manfred Mann (born Manfred Sepse Lubowitz, Johannesburg, 1940) and drummer/pianist Mike Hugg. Signed to EMI's His Master's Voice label in 1963, the five-piece rode the British Invasion's R&B revival alongside acts like the Animals, with singer Paul Jones fronting the group through its biggest hits. Their cover of "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" topped both the UK and US charts in 1964, making them the first band from southern England to hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 during the British Invasion. Mike d'Abo replaced Jones as vocalist in 1966, singing on later hits including a cover of Bob Dylan's "Mighty Quinn." Other members over the years included guitarist Tom McGuinness and bassist Klaus Voormann. The band split in 1969; Mann went on to lead Manfred Mann's Earth Band, which later scored its own US number one with a cover of Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light."
