RARE BEAT - GARAGE ROCK AND PSYCHEDELIC
Keith Alan Hopkins, better known by his stage name, Keith West was the lead singer of Tomorrow, a 1960s psychedelic rock band. Despite critical acclaim and support from BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel,
who featured them on his Perfumed Garden show, the band was not a commercial success. In 1964, West became lead singer of "In Crowd" a rock band from London, which was then renamed Tomorrow.
Another member of that earlier band was the guitarist Steve Howe (later Yes). In 1967 West became acquainted with Mark Wirtz, a producer who had already created the instrumental title,
"A Touch of Velvet, a Sting of Brass". Later on, the melody became the theme music for the German television programs, Beat-Club and Musikladen. West himself is perhaps better known as
a participant of Wirtz's A Teenage Opera. He was the singer of "Excerpt from A Teenage Opera", also known as "Grocer Jack", which reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart in 1967.
In 1968, West released the single "On A Saturday" on Parlophone, which failed to chart in the UK. Other musicians who appeared on the single were the guitarist Howe, bassist Ronnie Wood, and drummer Aynsley Dunbar.
In 1971, West released a solo album, Wherever My Love Goes on the German progressive rock record label, Kuckuck. It featured his songwriting partner Ken Burgess and steel guitarist Glenn Ross Campbell
(ex-The Misunderstood). Two tracks of it were produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. By the mid 1970s, West was the lead singer for a group called Moonrider.
West continues to produce and record music, which is used primarily within the advertising industry.
