Jeffrey Comanor - Man Of Mystery!

He wrote a hit song for England Dan & John Ford Coley which spent six weeks at the top of the Billboard Easy Listening chart. Don't sneer - this kind of moolah sets a guy up for life. You should be so lucky. And talented. He cut three swell albums (I need the second - anybody?), was a Juicy Fruit in Phantom Of The Paradise, and the writer/illustrator of kids' books. What does a guy have to do to get his own Wikipedia page? Beats me.

His first album Sure Hope You'll Like It is generally a fine thing, compromised by a little late sixties sub-Dylan singer-songwriter sincerity, but the third, A Rumor In His Own Time is as perfect as '76 pop-rock gets. He has that rare thing, a naturally likeable singing voice that's a pleasure to listen to, and he can write great songs, and what's the problem here?
