Juicy Lucy 1972 Oldham Union Socials 40x30cm Original Concert Poster .
Juicy Lucy is a British blues rock band officially formed on 1 October 1969. After the demise of The Misunderstood, Juicy Lucy was formed by steel guitarist Glenn Ross Campbell, and prolific Blackburn saxophonist Chris Mercer.] The group later recruited guitarist Neil Hubbard, bassist Keith Ellis, and drummer Pete Dobson..
the band immediately notched a UK Top 20 hit with their cover version of the Bo Diddley composition "Who Do You Love?" Their self-titled debut album then fell just shy of the Top 40 in the UK Albums Chart.] The album's cover featured a burlesque dancer named Zelda Plum, naked except for a covering of fruit.
Line-up changes ensued, as former Zoot Money singer Paul Williams (born Paul William Yarlett, 1940),] guitarist Micky Moody, and drummer Rod Coombes replaced Owen (who joined Killing Floor ] before embarking on a solo career), Hubbard, and Dobson prior to the recording of 1970's Lie Back and Enjoy It (#53 - UK Albums Chart) ] In May 1970, the band appeared at the annual NME poll-winners concert.[8] Another bassist, Jim Leverton, assumed Ellis' duties for the follow-up, 1971's Get a Whiff a This In August 1971, Juicy Lucy appeared on the bill at the Weeley Festival near Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.]
The constant turnover took its toll on the group both creatively and commercially, with co-founders Campbell and Mercer, plus Coombes exiting prior to the fourth Juicy Lucy album, 1972's Pieces. This was recorded by a makeshift line-up of Williams, Moody, keyboardist Jean Roussel, and the former Blodwyn Pig rhythm section of bassist Andy Pyle and drummer Ron Berg. Juicy Lucy disbanded shortly thereafter.
Micky Moody was a member of Snafu between 1973 and 1976, and he later joined the inaugural Whitesnake line-up in 1978. A 1996 album called Blue Thunder was released under the Juicy Lucy name by Paul Williams and Micky Moody, featuring guest musicians Mick Taylor and Andy Summers. Moody and Williams also released an album called Smokestacks, Broomdusters and Hoochie Coochie Men in 2002.
