Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. John Lawton (born 11 July 1946 in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England) is a rock and roll and blues vocalist best known for his work with Lucifer's Friend, Uriah Heep and the Les Humphries Singers. Lawton began his musical career in North Shields, UK, in the early '60s with The Deans, a bunch of kids who decided at random that he should be singer. He then moved on to West One and later Stonewall which included John Miles, Vic Malcolm (later of Geordie) and Paul Thompson (later of Roxy Music). After Stonewall finished their stint at Top Ten Club in Hamburg in 1969, Lawton decided to stay in Germany, after having been offered the job as singer with legendary German rock cult band Lucifer's Friend (1969-1976 and 1979-1995) with whom he recorded nine studio albums. He also joined the Les Humphries Singers, in the early '70s (which included the Eurovision Song Contest in '76).
