Following on from the last post, here is my favourite Norman Connors Album. You have Butterfly with Eleanor Mills and James Robinson doing the vocals. Then the marvelous Jean Carn singing on Stella. If that isn't enough, there is even a version of the gigantic The Creator has a Master Plan that is worth a listen.Plus you have the 'I have it all' sleeve...boots and all...
Here is a cover that must have inspired so many. The plane, the girl, the boots and that scarf... He made some great music, but his album covers were entertaining too!!!
