Talk:Manfred Mann

message: I agree. I was looking for up to date info on the EB but to my surprise WP has only this. It is made more appropriate given the tours in the past year for 'The Manfreds' aka Manfred Mann and now this year, the MMEB. Plus of course, Jones' involvement with 'The Blues Band' and nothing to do with either of the former bands. 
It should also feature something on their lead singer <a href="/wiki/Chris_Thompson" title="Chris Thompson">Chris Thompson</a>. He has been in and out of the band I believe and has had at least one other band -  The SAS Band for example as well as singing on other people's projects I think. You can see the SAS Band singing Blinded by the Light on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw11bvh4yIo

thread_title: The SAS Band

message: The article's called Manfred Mann but ironically there's no information about Manfred Mann himself, apart from his birthdate and birthplace. If anything this article should be renamed Manfred Mann (band) and a seperate article created for the musician called Manfred Mann. 172.200.171.213 23:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  No information on Manfred Mann himself 

message: I propose  this page and  this one be merged together.
Both pages overlap in terms of information, personel, songs, etc...  Not because the band and the musician have the same
name, but because their histories overlap in multiple places.  This creates a duplication of information  
Let the will of the community prevail.

replies: text: Oppose--Manfred Mann (the band, now called The Manfreds) and Manfred Mann the musician have their own separate lives after Manfred Mann the musician left the group.  Of course he formed Manfred Mann's Earth Band afterwards. Steelbeard1 (talk) 17:23, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Oppose--Quite so. Rothorpe (talk) 17:43, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Oppose I'm actually pretty unfamiliar with the band and the man(n), but they seem to be independently notable. I see no good reason for a merge.ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 18:03, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Oppose - there are sufficient differentials between Manfred Mann (musician), Manfred Mann and indeed Manfred Mann Chapter Three, Manfred Mann's Earth Band and The Manfreds, for all to exist as separate articles.  I think some of these articles have information that  spills outwards, and maybe better edited down to exclude this excess/duplication, but I oppose the merge.

text: Oppose - it's normal for a band and its leading member(s) to have separate articles.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:39, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: I don't have time to correct the staggeringly epic run-on contained in the article right now -- anyone else want to take a crack at it?
"In December another EP set of instrumentals, Instrumental Assassination, was released which featured original member Dave Richmond on double bass, but not Mike d'Abo suggesting the sessions dated from a little earlier in 1966, but an instrumental version of Tommy Roe's "Sweet Pea" only reached No. 36 when issued as a single and the follow-up, Randy Newman's "So Long, Dad", with its intricate keyboard arrangement, missed the top twenty altogether, making 1967 largely an unsuccessful year in the charts (besides 'Ha Ha Said The Clown' which reached the UK singles chart early in 1967) with no album as Mann and Hugg explored other avenues of their career, although their record company did compile the UK budget priced album; 'What A Mann' (Fontana SFL 13003) a predominantly instrumental set gathering together a few recent singles 'A' sides, 'B' sides, and instrumental EP tracks circa 1966–67."

thread_title:  the Manfreds 

message: I didn't see any mention of their cover of the Bruce Springsteen song. It was a hit for Manfred Mann in the 70's.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.170.52 (talk) 14:05, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

message: Can someone please do an "Overview" section for The Manfred Mann Album and Mann Made please. An Overview section being as long as what is like on the As Is album. Thanks. McGuinessTom1941 (talk) 22:35, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

message: I think the EPs should also be signified in the timeline, since they show that Voormann joined before Mike D'Abo. Also, Dobson and Lowther should be in the graphic too. Jules TH 16 (talk) 15:14, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

message: The “group” is a singular compound noun. Hence, “the group WAS singing” NOT “the group were singing”.  Etc. 2601:586:D030:ABD5:E0AA:2B10:BEED:5C1F (talk) 22:09, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Manfred Mann are a British group and so British English is used in this article. “Were” “are” etc in relation to the band are British English. Humbledaisy (talk) 22:52, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  English for the Limeys 

message: Regarding  - as I understood it, those occurred the other way around. The group's contract with HMV being due to expire, they looked for a new label, and found Fontana. But Paul Jones had already signed with HMV as a solo singer, so was obliged to leave the band; they were already with Fontana when Mike d'Abo joined. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:40, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
