Edited sentence: After working in LA, Clark returned to Europe.By this time he was living in near-poverty and struggling with drug addiction and unpaid taxes, both of which were the aftermath of his dissipated rock'n'roll lifestyle in the Los Angeles music scene.Clark Hutchinson recorded four albums between 1969 and 1971, the most successful being A=MH² which reached the top ten of the UK album charts in 1969 and was regarded by John Peel as one of the most innovative recordings of the era.During the 1990s he again played and recorded with one of his earliest musical collaborators Sam Gopal culminating in Father Mucker (1999).Having experienced, and narrowly survived, close brushes with wealth and fame, Clark continues to live and work quietly in London, still supporting himself with his music as he has always done.He is also an accomplished and witty raconteur with many a strange tale to tell of life in the fast lane.The gritty subject matter had some resonances with Clark's own situation.The screenplay by Barrie Keeffe (better-known as writer of The Long Good Friday) was the fictional story of a self-destructive female rock star having to face the fact that time moves on and her career is in decline.The story-line demanded music and songs in a range of genres mirroring the main character's career moves over two decades and Clark's diverse sound-track was a creative tour-de-force.This article is based on personal recollection, Google, and the following webpages:
