Amen Corner - 1969 - The World Of Amen Corner
Amen Corner was a successful British rock group, formed in late 1966 in Cardiff, Wales. The band was named after The Amen Corner, a weekly disc spin at the Victoria Ballroom (later to become The Scene Club) in Cardiff, Wales, where every Sunday night Dr. Rock would play the best soul music from the United States. Initially they specialised in a blues and jazz-orientated style, but were steered by their record labels into more commercial pastures. Their first singles and album appeared on Decca's subsidiary label Deram, but they left at the end of 1968 to join Immediate, where they were instantly rewarded with a No. 1, "(If Paradise Is) Half as Nice" in early 1969, followed by another Top 5 entry with the Roy Wood composition, "Hello Susie". Andy Fairweather Low (vocals), Neil Jones (guitar) ,Allan Jones (saxophone), Blue Weaver (keyboards), Mike Smith (tenor saxophone), Clive Taylor (bass) and Dennis Bryon (drums).
