Phillip Goodhand-Tait - Oceans Away (1976)

Phillip Goodhand-Tait is an English singer-songwriter, record producer and keyboard player.
Philip Goodhand-Tait has come close to stardom as a performer on a painfully regular basis since the 1960s without ever achieving it, but still finding success. He's an established producer, songwriter, and musician whose work has benefitted artists ranging from Roger Daltrey to the Lords of the New Church, without ever quite becoming a marquee name himself  sort of England's answer to Al Kooper. He was a natural musician and quickly acquired a skill in the same instrument, as well as showing off considerable talent as a singer.  Phillip's first four DJM albums, released during 1971 and '73, were each delayed as DJM Records coped with it's international success. Nevertheless the albums found critical acclaim and individual songs from them such as Buddy Holly's "Everyday", "You Are"  and "Leon" were much played on radio. For Phillip, the time had come to change record company and management. Phillip's first album for Chrysalis was "Oceans Away"  and again, the title single taken from it, was well received. Once again though, Phillip was to find it more lucrative when Roger Daltrey, singer with The Who, recorded "Oceans Away" on his solo album, "Ride A Rock Horse".
