This is only a fan page for Manfred Mann's Earth Band. This is not the official site. I am merely documenting the band on MySpace for everyone and allowing the fans to enjoy it for themselves.
Manfred Mann's Earth Band begain in 1971. The South-African keyboardist, Manfred Mann formed the Earth band after a break up with the former group of the 60's "Manfred Mann." The former group is now known as "The Manfreds," but Mann himself is no longer involved with the group.
The first breakthrough came for the band around 1976-1977 when the song "Blinded by the Light," reached 1 in the USA. The band toured the world at the time. At this moment in history, the lead vocalist for MMEB was Chris Thompson.
The Earth Band is known for such hits as Blinded by the Light, Mighty Quinn, Martha's Madman, Davy's on the Road Again, Spirits in the Night, Don't Kill it Carol, For You, etc.
The Earth Band continues to tour throughout Europe in present day. The lineup only consists of two original members from the old days which are Manfred Mann himself, as well as Mick Rogers.
Although the band no longer tours the United States of America, we are hopeful that one day in history, we will again see the talent in our lands! Thank you for stopping by! Continue to support the Earth Band.
