Gordon Haskell
Gordon Haskell (born 27 April 1946, in Verwood, England) is a pop, rock and blues music vocalist, songwriter, and bassist. He first gained recognition as a member of the British band Les Fleur de Lys. He sang on one of the songs of King Crimson's second album, then played bass and sang on their third album. After departing from King Crimson, he continued his musical career as a solo musician and gained international recognition in 2001 with his hit song ''How Wonderful You Are''.
A school friend of King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp, the two first worked together in an amateur version of Fripp's group the League of Gentlemen in the mid-1960s. Since that time Gordon Haskell has been on the fringes of the English music scene. For a brief period he shared a London flat with Jimi Hendrix. While playing bass in the psychedelic pop band the Fleur De Lys he recorded a few singles with the group to minimal success. Haskell's debut solo album ''Sail in My Boat'' was recorded for the U.K. division of CBS Records in 1969. The album did not chart and today remains a rare collectible.
==The 1970s==
Haskell was asked to be the bassist and vocalist in the transitional King Crimson line-up of 1970. He appeared on the albums ''In the Wake of Poseidon'' and ''Lizard'', but quit the group during rehearsals for live work. Haskell’s preference for Nat King Cole and Ray Charles songs led to frustration in Fripp’s band. Haskell's folk oriented interests were in conflict with Crimson's more complicated progressive rock musical style.〔In the Court of King Crimson by Sid Smith, Helter Skelter Publ., 2002〕
He auditioned for Atlantic Records head Ahmet Ertegün, which led to Arif Mardin producing Haskell’s 1971 solo album ''It Is and It Isn’t''. The album has guest appearances from top session musicians, notably John Wetton, who would join King Crimson in late 1972. Again, the album was not a commercial success. As the 1970s progressed, Haskell found himself playing supporting stints with Cliff Richard and Tim Hardin. For a short time in 1974 he rehearsed with the group Stackridge. Though Haskell decided not to join the group, Stackridge did record a song from ''It Is and It Isn’t''. Originally called "Worms", the version on the 1975 album ''Extravaganza'' was re-titled, "No One's More Important Than the Earthworm".
