Argent

Argent were an English rock band founded in 1969 by keyboardist Rod Argent, formerly of The Zombies. Rod Argent put together Argent just as The Zombies's posthumous single "Time of the Season" was becoming a worldwide hit in 1969. Argent had enjoyed considerable success with the band but wanted his new outfit to become part of the burgeoning progressive rock scene.
The band's lineup for their 1972 session consisted of; Rod Argent (keyboards & vocals), Russ Ballard (guitar & vocals), Robert Henrit (drums) & Jim Rodford (bass).
