September 3, 1947 – January 10, 1997
Kenny Pickett was the lead singer of British mod band, the Creation. With a sound and style similar to the Kinks and the Who, many have wondered why they were never more popular. They had solid songwriting, a great vocalist and a guitarist who Pete Townshend once asked to join the Who. At one point Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones was in the band. Their “Making Time” is one of the greatest rock songs of the era. Although they never really caught on in the UK or the US, they were pretty popular in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. And the great independent label, Creation Records is said to be named after them. Pickett suffered a fatal heart attack on January 10, 1997.
