It has included singers with bags of charisma and stage presence such as Mick Jagger, Noddy Holder and George Melly. But I've never seen anyone who could just *own* a stage and spellbind an audience to the extent that Alex Harvey could. He is much missed.

SAHB was more like a cross between a vaudeville act & an Olde English Troupe with the theater thrown in for free. They were as different as night & day compared to other acts of the time. Exceptionally good LIVE! I can't stress just how spectacular they were. He used to act quite giddy about introducing his band, he'd do it over & over as part of the act. When he stuffed the stockings in his mouth & started his 'I've been FRAMED' routine, we about fell over. Up till then, bands that incorporated a crazy stage act the entire show were & stayed EXTREMELY rare. The Faith Healer was very much an act about faith healing, strange in itself.
