Juicy Lucy was a British blues‑rock band officially formed on 1 October 1969. After the breakup of The Misunderstood, the group was founded by US‑born steel guitarist Glenn Ross Campbell and saxophonist Chris Mercer (born 1947). They were later joined by vocalist Ray Owen, guitarist Neil Hubbard, bassist Keith Ellis, and drummer Pete Dobson (born 1950). The band’s name was inspired by a character in The Virgin Soldiers (1966) by Leslie Thomas. Juicy Lucy achieved immediate success with their UK Top 20 hit, a cover of the Bo Diddley song “Who Do You Love?” Their self‑titled debut album reached just outside the Top 40 on the UK Albums Chart. The album’s cover featured burlesque performer Zelda Plum, nude except for a covering of fruit; some versions of the cover display more or less fruit than others. The band underwent several lineup changes. Former Zoot Money vocalist Paul Williams (born Paul William Yarlett, 1940), guitarist Micky Moody, and drummer Rod Coombes replaced Ray Owen (who later joined Killing Floor before pursuing a solo career), Neil Hubbard and Pete Dobson prior to the recording of the 1970 album Lie Back and Enjoy It (No. 53 on the UK Albums Chart). In May 1970, Juicy Lucy performed at the annual NME Poll‑Winners Concert. Bassist Jim Leverton replaced Keith Ellis for the 1971 follow‑up album Get a Whiff a This. In August 1971, the band appeared at the Weeley Festival near Clacton‑on‑Sea, Essex. See for more.
