    Who is the lead vocalist for Manfred Mann?

    Question #63277. Asked by kathyann. (Mar 09 06 1:30 PM)

    When I listened to them back in the sixties it was Paul Jones - but if the band is still around I dare say the line-up has changed since then.

    Manfred Mann himself was originally named Manfred Liebowitz; he was born on October 21, 1940 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

    Liebowitz originally formed the band Manfred Mann in 1962, with his friend Mike Hugg on drums, but both took a background role in live performances. The lead vocalist, harmonica player, and undoubted star of the band in the early years was Paul Jones, later a successful actor. Completing the line-up were Tom McGuinness on bass guitar, and Mike Vickers on guitar and saxophone.

    In the 1990s, most of the original 1960s line-up reformed as The Manfreds, minus Manfred Mann himself - hence the name - playing most of the old 1960s hits and a few jazz instrumentals, sometimes with both Paul Jones and Mike d'Abo fronting the line-up.

    At the same time Jones and Tom McGuinness were also mainstays of The Blues Band, which they helped form in 1978.
