GRAHAM PARKER was born on 18 November 1950 in London. Happy 69
to a genuine, uncompromising but also underrated heart and soul singer-
songwriter. He is best known for his work with The Rumour in the late
1970s, early 1980s but Mister Parker released several stirring solo albums
too and still does (check his last year’s winsome LP ‘Cloud Symbols’).
An original singer/songwriter survivor with a most gripping voice.

– NOBODY HURTS YOU – (From 1979 masterpiece album ‘Squeezing Out Sparks’)
