FAMILY were and
still are one of the most revered bands to come out of the late Sixties
early
Seventies. Fronted by the manic but prolific vocalist
ROGER
CHAPMAN, Family were one of the most popular bands on the UK and
European gig and festival circuit where their particular brand of
“progressive art rock”, backed by Chapman’s on stage antics and a
brilliant band excited audiences everywhere.
The
band became a brilliant vehicle for the song writing partnership of
Roger Chapman and CHARLIE WHITNEY who were joined along the way by a
number of top musicians including JOHN WETTON and later TONY ASHTON.
The
popularity of Family was reflected by top thirty singles including a
number 4 with “In My Own Time” and 7 top thirty albums, with “A
Song For Me” reaching number 4, “Entertainment” number 6 and
“Anyway” number 7.
