Born in Hull on 3rd January 1945, Goodhand-Tait is a pianist and vocalist. He first attracted attention as composer for
The Love Affair for whom his credits included "Gone Are The Songs Of
Yesterday" (the flip to their No.1, "Everlasting Love") and
"A Day Without Love". Earlier in 1966, he'd recorded three 45s for Parlophone with
The Stormville Shakers which hadn't sold at all well, prior to the band renaming themselves
Circus and recording an eponymous album for Transatlantic.
In the seventies, he was heavily promoted as a piano-playing singer/songwriter, but he failed to achieve anything like the success of
Elton John. Some of his compositions were later recorded by Roger
Daltrey.
Philip Goodhand-Tait and The Stormville Shakers also backed Larry Williams and
Johnny "Guitar" Watson on a UK tour and an album, "The Larry Williams
Show" (Decca), recorded prior to Larry's return to the USA.
Compilation appearances include: "I'm Gonna Put Some Hurt On You" on "Go... With An All Star" (LP).
