MANFRED MANN “ Ragamuffin Man “ stereo mix mono... Another band who split up at their peak, in fact while this single was in the top 10. a single which they disliked! Manfred Mann had been remarkably consistent since their breakthrough. Just two of their singles had failed to chart and most of the ones that did went into the Top 10. They had managed to ride personnel changes in 1965-66. First guitarist Mike Vickers left ; Tom McGuinness switched to guitar and his bass slot was filled briefly by Jack Bruce and then Klaus Voorman. Then Paul Jones quit to pursue a solo career. Not many thought they would be able to prosper without their pin-up frontman but they replaced him with the unknown Mike D’Abo, almost as pretty , with a smoother but less distinctive voice and some songwriting nous , and confounded their critics by maintaining their position.
