Life - Clockwise from top: Danny Zimmerman, Marty Simon, Mike Ship and Barry Albert
In the early 1970s Montreal musicians Neil Sheppard and Marty Simon moved to London to pursue new musical opportunities. Singer/songwriter and producer Neil Sheppard recorded an unreleased LP for RCA that featured contributions from the likes of Peter Frampton and John Entwistle. He also spent time writing for singer Long John Baldry. Drummer Marty Simon meanwhile recorded with Sharks, the band formed by ex-Free bass player Andy Fraser and session guitarist Chris Spedding.
During the late 1960s, the pair had worked together with Montreal band Life, who recorded a criminally overlooked and rare LP for Polydor Canada. Nick Warburton tells the story: Life featuring Neil Sheppard and Marty Simon
