Leroy Brown [UK] - One Woman Man
One Woman Man / Instrumental
EMI 2320 (1975)
Not to be confused with the Jamaican artist with the same name this Leroy Brown was in-fact a pseudonym used by Charlie Crane who at one time was the lead singer with the Joe Meek produced band The Crying Shames.
Mark Wesley began his music career working as a DJ on Radio Essex before joining the pirate station Radio Northsea International. He worked as DJ Mark West on Radio Scotland before eventually joining Radio Luxembourg.
Whilst broadcasting alongside Kid Jensen, Mike Read and Steve Wright (all well known in the UK) he was signed to Sunbury Music to write and produce records. He wrote this song (and several others) using the publishing name of M. Goble. This 45 was also produced by him and he shared the arranger credits with Gerry Shury.
Gerry started as an arranger in the 1960s and then went on to work during the 1970s with pop acts such as Barry Blue, Lyndsey DePaul, the Rubettes & the Bee Gees before becoming more involved in the growing UK disco/soul scene. He also wrote several hits including "Devil's Gun" by C.J. & Company which happened to be the first song played at Studio 54 on it's opening night in April 1977.
