The timing of the release of this song could not be at a more fitting time as our World Leaders are realising at last that TIME IS RUNNING OUT for our planet and unless we “change our ways” as the lyrics state, we will suffer calamity.
Howard relates some quite miraculous accounts of God’s guidance in starting Revelation TV
Howard went to meet Jack Baverstock of Fontana records looking for experience as a producer and Jack said to him “Try and do something with this lot”. He played Howard a track this band had made previously which was a flop. The name of the band was Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich.
Howard took up the challenge and went into Fontana’s own studios below their offices near Marble Arch in central London. They had a good session and produced a song composed by Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley entitled YOU MAKE IT MOVE which was released in 1965 and reached #26 on the UK charts.
Then one day after the song became the band’s first hit, Howard went into Fontana’s offices to meet with Jack Baverstock and the band and Howard said, “When do we go into the studio to make the follow-up?”.
There was a strange silence in the room and then Jack Baverstock said, “we have already made it”. Howard was shocked. They didn’t even credit Howard on the record You Make It Move. Apparently, an American producer by the name of Steve Rowland had been given the job of producing the band and Howard was dumped. Just like that.
Howard agrees that Steve Rowland was a far more experienced producer than him but handling the situation as they did was so unkind and ruthless. The band went on to have numerous hits and deservedly so says, Howard.
Here are some of their biggest hits: The Legend of Xanadu, Hold Tight, Bend It, Zabadak and as they started fadeout in their chart presence a most fitting title was Snake in the Grass.
