Robert Leslie Harrison
Profile:
English singer/songwriter and drummer, born June 22, 1939 in London, died on January 10, 2022. Bobby Harrison’s history can be traced back to the late fifties and the legendary Brentwood, UK 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 jazzman 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. His solo album Funkist has material written for Freedom and is considered to be the "missing link" in Bobby Harrison’s career between Freedom and Snafu, which he formed early 1973. The band lasted until the mid 1970s. In the early eighties, Harrison decided to move to Iceland. There he got involved with many musical activities and also recorded one album with local supergroup Mezzoforte in 1987.
