Eddie Hardin

about

British keyboardist and singer Eddie Hardin (born London, United Kingdom, 19 February 1949; died 22 July 2015) had been recruited by The Spencer Davis Group in the Spring of 1967 to replace Steve Winwood, to whom he bore a distinct vocal resemblance. He contributed heavily to their releases over the next eighteen months, but left in October 1968 along with drummer, Pete York. Hardin and York then started to record as a duo, releasing a s string of albums, but both men also found time to record solo albums that came out in April 1972. With support from the likes of Elton John bassist Dee Murray and Deep Purple's drummer Ian Paice, Hardin's Home Is Where You Find It saw him explore more mainstream singer-songwriter territory, with some grandiose progressive pop thrown in for good measure. Hardin released nine solo studio albums and two live albums between 1972 and 2000. He died in 2015 following a heart attack, aged 66.
