Born in Govan, Glasgow, on the 5th February 1935, Alex Harvey was considered too be one of the best showmen on the pop circuit. Alex was famed for his time in the Sensational Alex Harvey Band (SAHB). He tragically died of a heart attack on 4th February 1982, a day short of his 47th birthday, in Zeebrugge, Belgium.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
From the Sensational Alex Harvey Band Myspace Page (www.myspace.com/vamborool):
“The Sensational Alex Harvey Band were as equally loved as Alex himself and together they were the biggest-grossing UK live act of the mid 70s; they released eight critically-acclaimed albums in their five years together, and Without doubt they are the most influential band to ever come out of Scotland they inspired many of the top names in popular entertainment over the last 30 years…”

I’d love to see the show but live in Washington State. Cleveland is the one area in the US that really took to Alex back in the 70′s. I just posted a short tribute to Alex over on my blog at http://www.esarsea.wordpress.com
Glad to see there are still some SAHB fans out there. VAMBO STILL ROOLS OK.
Regards, Stu
