Who was lead singer for zephyr?
Candy Givens was the lead singer for Zephyr, her husband David Givens played bass guitar. The band was formed by lead-guitarist Tommy Bolin (James Gang, Moxy, Deep Purple). The band also featured keyboardist John Faris and Robbie Chamberlin on drums. Zephyr was early in Tommy Bolins short career. Both Candy Givens and Tommy Bolin tragically died very young of drug-related, unglamorous deaths. Bolins speed on the guitar is reminiscent of Librache on the piano. Although no official count exists (yet) on Bolin's guitar speed, it is way up their in sheer number of notes per minute (Liberache played up to about 6000 separate notes in 2 minutes). Both Candy Given's singing and Bolin's lead-guitar work were punctuated by a stellar band. Candy Given's is often compared to Janis Joplin, she is still refered to as a tiny little lady with a big, big voice. Bolin later replaced Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmoor as Deep Purple's Lead Guitarist, as well as doing solo albums such as Teaser and Private Eyes. When Bolin left Zephyr he was replaced by Jock Bartley. Zephyr went on performing with various artists after Bolin and Bartley's departures, until Candy Given's death in 1984. Zephyr is one of the few bands that took rock/blues/jazz fusion and totally made it work. The sound of Zephyr is one of the most unique sounds of any band; Bolin is frequently compared to Page, Santana, Peter Green, Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Orianthi Panagaris, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford and Tallan Noble Latz, BB King, Buddy Miles, Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc., (all rock/blues/jazz greats). Candy Given's singing was and is among many people's favorite rock songs of all time. Many flame wars exist on the world wide web over who was or is the world's greatest singer or musician. Listen to Zephyr over and over, it grows on you. I currently think of Big Brother and the Holding Company live at Woodstock when I hear Zephyr, with the lead guitar vastly upgraded and Janis voice-coached.
