726.0. "Jesus Christ Superstar" by DECXPS::MKELLY () Tue Aug 28 1990 11:33

    I just bought the Jesus Christ Superstar (Origian London Version)
    on CD. I've had the album for about 20 years and have ALWAYS wondered
    who the players are. Some I know such as Ian Gillian, Barry Dennen
    and Yvonne Elliman. Who is Murray Head, Victor Brox, Annette Brox
    Mike D'Abo (I think he's from Manfred Mann) and the others. This
    would ease a very troubled mind if I could get some answers!
    
    Thanks.
    Mike.

	Mike D'Abo was indeed in Manfred Mann. I think he replaced Paul Jones (or was it the other way round?). I never heard of Murray Head before or since. There was a rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar (title track) on the TV a month or so ago and I could have sworn the singer was Murray Head. Turned out it was Paul Nicholas. Richard
726.2	Wasn't that him?	CHEST::SAXBY	Is this personal or what?	`Tue Aug 28 1990 14:25`	7
	Murray Head cropped up in Chess didn't he? I'm sure he had a hit with 'One night in Bangcock' or whatever it was called. Mark

	re .-1: Yup. One of the guitarists was Henry Mucolloch (sp?). Does anyone know for sure if he was the same H.M. that played in Wings w/ Paulie for a while? The H.M. w/ Paul is on _Red_Rose_Speedway_ and can be seen in the vid for "My Love." .0 mentioned that he had heard of Barry Dennen. I haven't. What else has he done? Rob
726.4	The very same Henry	CASEE::MERRICK	Wherever you go, there you are	`Mon Sep 03 1990 11:40`	6
	Murray Head also had a hit with "Say it ain't so, joe". Re-1. Yes, it was the same Henry McCullough. He joined Wings in January 82 and also continued as a session player (JCS, Spooky Tooth, Carol Grimes etc). He seemed to disapear for a while before playing with Roxy Music and later Bryan Ferry.
726.5	it was Jimmy McCullough, wasn't it?	NAVIER::STARR	SRV.....I can't believe you're gone.......	`Tue Sep 04 1990 17:09`	3
	Wasn't the Wings guitarist Jimmy McCullough, not Henry McCullough??? alan
726.6	both	XSTACY::PATTISON	A rolling stone gets the worm	`Tue Sep 04 1990 17:19`	4
	Yes and No. I mean both, but Henry didn't stay for very long, and Jimmy died.
726.7	Barry Where Are You?	CSCMA::BURKE		`Wed Sep 05 1990 20:33`	5
	Barry Dennen was the person who inspired Barbra Streisand to sing "Cry me a River" in the early sixties. He was her manager in the years before she made it big...What he's done besides JCS is a mystery to me....

	re: .4 I think you meant Henry Mucolloch was in Wings in '72, yes? Rob
