  • Successful UK pop / glam band. Mud was founded by singer Les Gray and drummer Dave Mount. They formed a band with bass player Ray Stiles and guitarist Rob Davis. On being discovered by producer Mickie Most during a gig, they were hooked up with writer / producer partners Chinn And Chapman. In 1980, after declining success and a replacement for Les Gray, the band decided to quit. Les Gray died of a heart attack in 2004. Rob Davis is now a producer and songwriter (best known for %22Can't Get You Out Of My Head%22 by Kylie Minogue).

  • Mud were an English glam rock band, formed in February 1966. Their earlier success came in a pop and then glam rock style, while later hits were influenced by 1950s rock and roll, and are best remembered for their hit singles %22Tiger Feet%22, which was the UK's best-selling single of 1974, and %22Lonely This Christmas%22 which reached Christmas number 1 in December 1974. After signing to RAK Records and teaming up with songwriters/producers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, the band had fourteen UK Top 20 hits between 1973 and 1976, including three number ones.
