He is best known for his hit single "Out of Time", which rose to #1 in the UK Singles Chart in 1966, and his association with Colosseum and the Thunderbirds. Outside his music career, Farlowe collects war memorabilia. ==Career== Inspired by Lonnie Donegan, Farlowe's musical career began with a skiffle group, the John Henry Skiffle Group, in 1957, before he joined the Johnny Burns Rhythm and Blues Quartet, in 1958. He met guitarist Bob Taylor in 1959 and, through Taylor, joined the Thunderbirds, who went on to record five singles for the Columbia label. On Island's Sue label, he released a version of "Stormy Monday Blues" under the pseudonym Little Joe Cook, which perpetuated the myth that he was a black singer. Farlowe moved to Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label and recorded eleven singles, five of which were cover versions of Rolling Stones songs including "Paint It, Black", "Think", "Ride On, Baby", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", and "Out of Time", which reached no. 1 (1966) in the UK Singles Chart.〔 He recorded four more singles, the best known of which is Mike d'Abo's "Handbags and Gladrags".〔 He began an association with the jazz rock group Colosseum in 1970, recording a live album and two studio albums including, ''Daughter of Time'' (1970). Later in the next millennium he would appear on two more Colosseum albums.〔 In February 1972 he joined Atomic Rooster, and is featured on the albums ''Made in England'' (1972) and ''Nice 'n' Greasy'' (1973). He sang vocals for the theme music written by Greenslade for the BBC Television series ''Gangsters''. In 1978 he had a part in a play produced by BBC Birmingham, ''Curriculee Curricula'', first shown on BBC Two and shot in its entirety on video at the University of Birmingham campus, with Magnus Magnusson as the narrator.〔(IMDb.com chris Farlow TV credits )〕 Farlowe and Greenslade provided the music.
