Album Description
Born in North London, Chas was in his late teens when he met Ian Dury and became an integral part of Dury's first band Kilburn & The High Roads. The group morphed into the Blockheads by the mid-1970's, and Jankel contributed to Dury's first hit 'Sex & Drugs & Rock 'N' Roll' in 1977 by co-writing and playing keyboards and guitar on it. The 1978 album that followed, New Boots & Panties, gave him a platinum award for his co-writing and arranging. His first club success came the following year with 1979's 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick'. Jankel once again did the arrangements, keyboards and guitar work on the British #-1 hit. By 1980 Jankel was primed for a solo career. The self-produced album Chas Jankel was released by A&M records and spawned his first solo 12 inch single hit, 'Ai No Corrida'. First time ever on CD! Includes the bonus track 'Little Eva'. Angel Air. 2005.Album Details
The Blockhead's Keyboardist Recorded his First Solo Album in 1978 at the Height of Ian Dury and the Blockheads Success. Jankel's Place in Rock'n'roll History is Assured. His Songwriting, Playing and Arranging Are Pivotal to the Enormous Respect the Blockheads Still Command Today. The Re-release of this Album is a Timely Reminder that There's Far More to Chaz (As Dury Later Re-christened Him) Than his Blockhead Legacy. "chas Jankel" Includes One of his Most Successful Songs "ai No Corrida" which He Wrote with Kenny Young and Became a Hit for Quincy Jones on Both Sides of the Atlantic with in 1981. Players Include Jankel, Peter Van Hooke, Chris Warwick, Mark Isham, Kuma Harada, Chris Hunter and Paul Westwood. The Package also Includes Informative Sleeve Notes from BBC Radio Suffolk's Stephen Foster.Customer Reviews:
