Glenn Hughes...

was born on 21st August 1951 in Birmingham, Great Britain. He left school at the age of 15 to play guitar in a local group before turning to bass and, to the enjoyment of many a fan, singing.

Did mostly cover tunes. They released at least one single with a possible appearance by Hughes, that is, "Sadie". It's somewhat uncertain though if he actually sings anything, but he may have played bass. Whether or not Hughes appears on the other singles, I don't know. Some say it's seems unlikely.

Toured US extensively from December 1970 through 1971, supporting e.g. the Moody Blues. Their first gig, in Houston TX, was a huge success with two sold-out concerts and ZZ Top (!) opening. Touring in the southern parts of the States turned out to be the most successful. They went back to UK in December 1971.

Glenn Hughes (vcl/bss?); together with others.

Hughes recorded an entire album for Warner Bros sometime during 1990. So far it hasn't been released. Someone's bound to know why.
