    "comment": "Kokomo released \"Use Your Imagination\" and b-side \"Do It Right\" in 1975\n\nFormed in 1973, this blue-eyed soul band was made up from the remnants of several British groups.\nVocalists Dyan Birch, Paddie McHugh and Frank Collins were ex members of Arrival, a superior pop harmony band, while Neil Hubbard (guitar) and Alan Spenner (bass) had previously worked with Joe Cocker's Grease Band.\n\nThe line-up was completed by further formidable musicians, Tony O'Malley (piano), Jim Mullen (guitar), Terry Stannard (drums), Joan Linscott (congas) and journeyman saxophonist Mel Collins.\nThis line-up split in January 1977, but a reconstituted version of the band appeared on the London gig circuit in the early 80's and recorded one album.\nThe fluctuating activity of the group saw yet another reunion in the latter part of the 80's.\nThis incarnation faltered when Alan Spenner died in August 1991.",
