God help me, if anyone has the Fusion LP will you please drop me a line or get the fucker up on s11sk pronto. Thank you. Jazz Funk is my deal. Please.

In 1974, he joined his first band, Half Pint Hogg, which played nothing but Deep Purple covers. However, his musical ideas were not limited to heavy metal; after he left school, he joined a jazz-funk band called Fusion. Fusion released one album, 'Til I Hear From You, in the late '70s. Once the group broke up, Kershaw signed to MCA Records with the help of Nine Below Zero's manager, Micky Modern.

Did you send your address to these guys, just in case they get a copy?

I suppose you've googled and found this page where you can download clips, right? (they're promising full track downloads soon)?

Holy shit Batman! Thanks Stan! I never buy stuff from eil because their prices are always outrageous but I sure as hell missed that website. Mission accomplished. God I thought this was hopeless. Thanks so much!

Gosh it's actually quite good too! I assume that's him singing. He really has a great voice doesn't he?

I don't know if it's him, doesn't the discription on there kinda mean it's Regg Webb singing? (it's his site)

Iirc there's quite a bit about this in Giles Smith's book Lost In Music.

Holy shit! Giles Smith's Lost In Music! That was a good quirky read, actually. Didn't he grow up in the same town as Nik Kershaw, and Nik was pretty much the big talent around town? Funny stuff.

Well, geez, I'd be curious about ANY book called "Lost In Music" as I love that Sister Sledge/Chic song. I'll definitely have to try to track that down and read it. I've really got so many music books to read right now though.

Yeah I guess it could be Reg Webb singing on this. But the voice sounded like Nik to me, so that's why I assumed. "In The Union Now" certainly doesn't sound like Nik, though.
