My Take
Tony Burrows is one of pop history's great unsung figures, and that is exactly why he interests me. Born in Exeter in 1942, he became the voice behind a remarkable string of late-60s and early-70s hits, fronting Edison Lighthouse, White Plains, Brotherhood of Man and more, often under different band names. The delightful trick is that the same voice powered several supposedly separate one-hit wonders. I admire artists who shape the soundtrack of an era without chasing the spotlight. Burrows proves that a single distinctive voice, deployed by a true craftsman, can quietly outlast many household names.
