I bet very few of you here have ever heard of him, but you will realise know him well through his music once I've finished this article.</p> <p>Originally he was in a band called the Roulettes who were the backing band for Adam Faith. I believe Adam was his manager after this and he worked with a lot of other artists that Faith was in charge of like Leo Sayer and Roger Daltrey.</p> <p>Ballards major break came as front man of the band Argent and he wrote their hit single God Gave Rock And Roll To You, which was of course later covered by Kiss.</p> <p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/InH_9fbfma8"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/InH_9fbfma8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p> <p>He also wrote Liar for Argent and that was covered by Three Dog Night, and he wrote a few songs for a band called Hello including New York Groove which Ace Frehley covered later.</p> <p>After leaving Argent he has since released a good number of albums, some of which are brilliant, but his most famous work is songs that that have been hits for other bands. I doubt anyone on here will argue against him being just a bit special when you see the rest of his portfolio.</p> <p>Someday We'll Be Together - Pointer Sisters<br /> I Surrender - Rainbow<br /> I Don't Believe in Miracles - Colin Blundstone and Barbara Dickson amongst others.<br /> You Can Do Magic - America<br /> I Know There's Something Going On - Frida (From ABBA)<br /> Winning - Santana<br /> So You Win Again - Hot Chocolate<br /> Where Do We Go From Here - Sweet<br /> Free Me - Roger Daltrey<br /> No More The Fool - Elkie Brooks<br /> Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/favorite-band-or-album-that-wasnt-quite-top-tier#post-6647 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 05:26:10 +0000 LadyPeterbilt 6647@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Paul Rodger's "The Law".
