Leslie (Les) Harvey (1945, Glasgow, Scotland - 3 May 1972, Swansea, Wales) (brother of Alex Harvey) was a guitarist in several Scottish bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s, most notably Stone the Crows- previously known as 'Power'. It was while on stage with Stone the Crows at Swansea Top Rank in 1972 that he was killed, electrocuted by touching an ungrounded microphone with wet hands.
In the sixties Les Harvey was asked to join The Animals by Alan Price but chose to stay with his brother Alex in the Alex Harvey Soul Band. He later joined the ill-fated Blues Council, another Scottish band. The Blues Council made one record, Baby Don't Look Down then in March 1965 their tour van crashed killing vocalist Fraser Calder and bassist James Giffen and the rest of the band went their separate ways[1]
