It was in the late 60ies, that Richard Anthony Hewson started his work arranging songs for other bands and he soon came up with quite a portfolio, working with such illustrious names as The Beatles, The Bee Gees, Herbie Hancock, Supertramp, Diana Ross, Chris De Burgh and many others. So we’ll forgive the sign of a slightly inflated ego that shines through when he named the band with which he was going to produce his own music after himself – RAH band – especially given that he was, in fact, the band’s only actual member.
Founded in 1977 the band’s first hit was “The Crunch”, an instrumental involving no synthesizers in which Hewson played all the instruments himself. Their biggest hit, “Clouds Across The Moon”, however, involved quite a few machine-generated melodies, as well as vocals provided by his wife, “Dizzy Lizzy”. Can’t stray too far, now, can we?
They obviously spared no expenses in the costume department, did they?
