Manfred Mann – I Wanna Be Rich ..,.1966
Manfred Mann was a very popular English rock/pop band that formed in London that was active between 1962-1969. The band started out as a blues based rock band named “The Mann-Hugg Blues Brothers” after co-founders, Manfred Mann, keyboardist, and drummer Mike Hugg. A short time later the band changed their name to Manfred Mann. Early on the band struck gold with “Do Wah Diddy Diddy”, a cover version of The Exciters' #78 Hot 100 hit earlier that year. The track reached the top of the UK, Canadian, and US charts. With the success of "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" the sound of the group's singles moved away from the jazzy, blues-based music of their early years to a pop hybrid that continued to make hit singles from cover material. From the mid to late 1960s, Manfred Mann’s records appeared regularly on the US and UK Charts. Two of their most successful singles were, "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" and "Mighty Quinn”. Also, the bands 1964 hit "5-4-3-2-1" was the theme song for the British pop music show “Ready Steady Go!” If you have any info about Manfred Mann and would like to share, please feel free to do so. …Info source; discogs, Wikipedia, 4cat
