Argent are an English rock band founded in 1968 by keyboardist Rod Argent, formerly of The Zombies. The first three demos from Argent, recorded in the autumn of 1968 featured Mac MacLeod on bass guitar. The other original members were bassist Jim Rodford (Rod Argent's cousin and formerly with the Mike Cotton Sound), drummer Robert Henrit and guitarist/keyboardist Russ Ballard (both formerly with The Roulettes and Unit 4 + 2). Lead vocal duties were shared between Ballard and Argent. Rod Argent, Chris White (former Zombies bassist) and Russ Ballard were the group's songwriters. Some of Ballard's compositions became hits when they were covered by other artists, including Kiss, Petra, Rainbow, Hello and Santana. Ring of Hands is a 1971 album and the second released by Argent. It was originally released on Epic Records. 01 - Celebration 02 - Sweet Mary 03 - Cast Your Spell Uranus 04 - Lothlorien 05 - Chained 06 - Rejoice 07 - Pleasure 08 - Sleep Won't Help Me 09 - Where Are We Going Wrong LINK
