After “The Groove” broke up Peter Williams decided to
concentrate on song writing for a while and had some success. He wrote a song that ended up being recorded
by a number of people including “The Marmalade”, “Joe Dolan”, a Scottish Group
named “The Dream Police” who some members from became “The Average White Band”,
Hamish Stuart (the vocalist) was later in “ Paul McCartney’s Band”. Another
song was recorded by Tina Charles the U.K. disco singer, another he wrote was
“The Good Book” recorded by Lon Satin who was understudy to “Sammy Davis
Junior” in the musical “Golden Boy”.
Even Kiwi recording artists Frankie Stevens & Kal Q Lated Risk
recorded a song Peter penned “I’ll be home”. During this period he released the
only solo record he ever released called “Give me a sign” / “My Guitar” (6006
105) on Phillips recorded in the U.K.
This record was produced by Alan Parker, guitarist from “Blue Mink”
& it wasn’t until many years later that Peter realised that Herbie Flowers
on bass & the rest of “Blue Mink” were the “backing band.” Peter penned
both sides of this single. mp3
