This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

ELTON JOHN BAND


In April 1970, just a few days after his 2nd album Elton John was released, Elton played some sessions for the BBC. At that time, he still had no band, so he used his friends from Hookfoot, as well as The Chanter Sisters for background vocals:

THE INTERNATIONAL POP PROMS


Around 1977, it was held a special concert celebrating The Music Of The Fifties in Preston, Lancashire, with these artists: Ben E King, Emile Ford, Frankie Laine, Marty Wilde and Joe and Vicki Brown. They were backed by The International Pop Proms Orchestra, conducted by Les Reed. I only know the supreme vocal section, but I´d like to know the players too. Can someone help, please?:

Around September 1980, Average White Band played in a special concert to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Rainbow Theatre in London. For this concert, they included the Chanter Sisters as backing vocalists. Don´t know the exact info, so this lineup is just my guess:

THE SECRET POLICEMAN CONCERT BAND


In 1981, several musicians and actors (from Monty Python) arranged to play 4 concerts in benefit of Amnesty International. There were great performers there, like Jeff Beck & Eric Clapton (playing together!), Phil Collins, Sting (his first solo appearance, he still was in The Police), Donovan, Bob Geldof, etc. The grand finale of these shows consisted of a massive jam playing Dylan's ´I shall be released´. The unusual lineup of this band was (be ready!):

There is also a video from that concert, but the tracks are slightly different. At least in my copy, the Beck/Clapton appearance is reduced to 2 songs, and Pete Townshend appears here, with a performance from 1980. The setlist for the live album is: Sting (2 tracks), Jeff Beck & Eric Clapton (3 tracks), Bob Geldof (1 track), Phil Collins with Daryl Stuermer (2 tracks), Donovan with Danny Thompson (2 tracks), the all-star band (1 track - the one featuring Doreen).

But I have a video recording from 1985, it´s a German TV appearance to promote the Bad attitude album, and it seems the lineup has been reduced (Bob Kulick is not there, and I don´t see Kati Mac). Was this a real live lineup, or just a special one-off gig?

I also have a video of a Joe Cocker concert for the German 'Ohne Filter' TV show, from 1988, and I think Chris was featured there, but I cannot find where I have the tape, to confirm the lineup.

I guess Chris Stainton kept on playing with more different incarnations of Joe Cocker Band, but it's extremely difficult finding info about the Joe Cocker Band lineups. Help, please!


ROGER WATERS BAND (again)


On October 1991, there was a great festival held in Seville, Spain. The event was called Guitar Legends. Many fantastic people played there. Roger Waters came on the 4th day, to play a similar set to the Berlinese concert of The Wall. This time, the all-star lineup included his usual Bleeding Hearts Band, plus some guests (for example, Tony Levin and Bruce Hornsby, who were the musical directors for that day in the festival, usually playing with all the artists):

AND THEN...


Doreen Chanter


Doreen Chanter while in Meat Loaf Band


Doreen has also worked on TV shows, recording jingles.


DOREEN AS WRITER...


Apart from suplying so many great performances on vocals, she has also written some memorable songs. I'm just mentioning a few ones. I'll try to make it more complete with time...

Kiki Dee single Star, written by Doreen Chanter


Doreen also wrote the song ´Star´ for Kiki Dee. Kiki released it as a single in January 1981. The single (´Star´ / ´Give it up´) reached number 13 in the UK singles chart, and between 1987 and 1990 it was the theme song of the BBC One programme Opportunity knocks.

Another single for Kiki Dee in July 1981. Song ´Midnight flyer´, co-written with sister Irene Chanter. Both songs were later included in Kiki Dee's album Perfect timing. But neither Doreen or Ireen appear in the album.

Roll over Beethoven was a British TV series from mid 80s. The soundtrack is from 1985, and it contains the track ´Cassie´s song´, written by Doreen Chanter, and sung by Kiki Dee. Kiki Dee and Carl Wayne (from The Move) appear in the soundtrack.

She has also written songs for films, TV and records.

As a curiosity, Doreen and Irene appear (uncredited) as schoolgirls in the horror movie Twins of Evil in 1971.

    1. Ruby Turner's name appears on the credits for Rod Stewart's "Smiler" album (and a few related compliations) The album credit is just "Rube" which is likely to be Ruby James who regularly recorded with the Chanter Sisters (Ruby Turner would barely be 16 years old at the time).

      1. Hi, thanks for your contribution. Yes, I guessed Rube should be Ruby Turner. What a great singer too, I own and enjoy her album "Call me by my name" a lot!
