History

Glenn 'Ross' Campbell gathered this gang soon after the end of Misunderstood. Their debut single Who Do You Love (also recorded by Misunderstood IV earlier) earned them a top 20 hit. Their self titled album of rock, blues & boogie blend climbed to no. 41 in the UK charts. Glenn left Juicy Lucy (III) in 1971 before the 4th. and last album.

Keith Ellis: Keith Ian Ellis stayed on in Juicy Lucy II in 1970 (for one more album, Lie Back And Enjoy It), then played sessions with Bobby Whitlock, Paul Williams (ex Juicy Lucy II), joined Spooky Tooth in '74 and Boxer in '75. He died while on tour with Iron Butterfly in Germany in 1978. Check out Peter Hammill's Not For Keith (pH 7).
