    I recommend "Stealin'", "The Magicians Birthday", "Easy Living" and "Lady In Black" by Uriah Heep. They had two albums back to back that I dearly love "Demons and Wizards" and "The Magicians Birthday". I love their other albums as well, but these two are my favorites,

    Demons And Wizard are just the best. Every song are a classic. Still hold up today and it's from 1972. Guitarist Mick Box are the last man standing. Bass player Gary Thain died in 1975. Vocalist David Byron in 1985, Drummer Lee Kerslake and keyboard player Ken Hensley both died in 2020. This version of Uriah Heep were phenomenal. David Byron had one of the best voices. Uriah Heep were well known for their vocal harmonies

Please react to some more Uriah Heep very soon. Gypsy, Easy Livin’, Stealin’, Sweet Lorraine and The Magician’s Birthday are just a few of their amazing songs.

    One of the best things about Uriah Heep is they can rock your socks off & the next song has such a beautiful sound. July morning to Rain. Easy livin to Come away Melinda to a masterpiece with orchestration like Salisbury. Ken Hensley was a great writer, we lost too soon. He'd found love with his new Spanish bride. Living in Spain & starting my own music career there, back in 75. I saw Uriah Heep live with John Wetton from Asia on bass. Great concert. General admission but with the Guadia Civil at the doors in their long black leather capes with submachine guns, it was orderly & peaceful. But still had that funky smell in the air, like my first rock concert in Little Rock Dr John & the Allman brothers before Duane's tragic death. Wetton did a bass solo that blew all of us away. Saw it with 3 other musicians & my sister. Prior to Byron's exit due to his alcoholic issues surfaced. Great band!

    Uriah Heep is a band. The name comes from a character in the novel David Copperfield. The band's commercial peak was in the early to mid 70s. Lots of great tunes by these guys. The epic July Morning, the blistering Gypsy, the beautiful The Park and the rocking, intense Look At Yourself. These guys could do it all.

    Uriah Heep were formed in England in 1967 and debuted in 1970 as a heavy rock band... In fact, Rush's first tour in 1974 was opening for Uriah Heep, who were enjoying a commercial peak in the 70's. But Uriah Heep were plagued w/ personnel problems and tragedy... Their original lead singer David Byron (seen here in the video) was fired in 1976 for alcohol abuse... he passed away in 1985 at age 38 from alcohol-related health issues... Their key songwriter Ken Hensley left Uriah Heep in 1980 and worked intermittently in music until his death in 2020... Their longtime drummer Lee Kerslake played on the first 2 Ozzy Osbourne records, but he ended up suing Ozzy for royalties. Kerslake's health declined and he was forced to retire and passed away in 2020... a truly remarkable drummer.
    Uriah Heep was formed by Mick Box (lead guitar), the only original member left today... w/ Ken Hensley (organ/ keys/ guitar/ piano), David Byron (lead vocals), Paul Newton (bass) ... they scored a successful single 'Gypsy' from their debut album "Very 'eavy, very 'umble" (The character of Uriah Heep was a creep from the Charles Dickens novel 'David Copperfield'... he spoke like " I ate 'umble pie with an appetite.")
    It was Uriah Heep's 2nd album 'Salisbury' that got the band some success in 1971... 3rd album 'Look at yourself' (1971) was a success in Japan... The band hit US commercial success in 1972 w/ Lee Kerslake (drums) joining and Gary Thain (bass) replacing Paul Newton... 2 albums - 'Demons & wizards' and "The Magician's birthday" both went gold in the US... followed by 'Sweet freedom' (1973) which also sold gold... Uriah Heep scored hit singles like "Easy livin' "... "Stealin' "... "Rain"... "Sweet Lorraine"... 🔥🤘
    However, the next few albums did not do as well... 'Wonderworld' (1974)... 'Return to fantasy' (1975)... "High and mighty" (1976)
    After David Byron was fired in 1976, Uriah Heep carried on w/ John Lawton (lead vocals) and released 'Firefly' and 'Innocent victim' in 1977 (Trevor Bolder had already joined on bass)... but neither record did as well... After their 1978 album 'Fallen angel'... John Lawton was fired.
    Uriah Heep's 1980 album 'Conquest' w/ John Sloman (lead vocals) was a failure and never even released in the US... founding Ken Hensley left the band.
    In 1982, Uriah Heep regrouped w/ Pete Goalby (lead vocals), Mick Box (guitar), Lee Kerslake (drums), Bob Daisley (bass), John Sinclair (keyboards) for the 'Abominog' album... Trevor Bolder (bass) rejoined Uriah Heep by 1984 and was w/ the band until his death in 2013. But the band's commercial appeal was flatlining... They still persisted making records and touring into the 90's and 2000's.
    In 1986, Canadian singer Bernie Shaw joined Uriah Heep as the vocalist, and is w/ them today... he debuted on their 1989 album 'Raging silence' w/ Phil Lanzon (keyboards) who is also a current member of Uriah Heep w/ Mick Box (lead guitar).
    Russell Gilbrook (drums) replaced the ailing Lee Kerslake in 2007... Dave Rimmer (bass) replaced the late Trevor Bolder in 2013.
    To date, Uriah Heep have released 25 studio albums and still tour actively today, their latest being 'Chaos and colour' in 2023, charting decently in the US and UK.

    Just a note: everything was trippy in the 70s and this song is a pretty good example of that.

    You two could teach a class on latter twentieth century popular music! I've watched (and listened to) you for over a year and the depth of what you've learned is amazing. When you hear a new band you immediately identify the genre and name 2 or 3 related or preceding bands within the same style, and you get it right! lol! I also really enjoy each of your distinctive ways of experiencing the music. Jay seems to immediately parse the music and put a name to everything, whereas Amber just feels it and absorbs it, saving the analysis for later. You two go well together. ;)

    Oh YES! Uriah Heep! I skimmed through the comments and saw a lot of others recommending "Lady In Black". This band has a lot of underrated classics.

    Uriah Heep is a lot like Status Quo. A great pop sensibility while being heavy as hell.

    WE WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT YOU WERE DOING A URIAH HEEP SONG. LIKE ANOTHER, I RECOMMEND THE SONGS "STEALIN'" AND "EASY LIVING" ... BUT ... THERE ARE SO MANY VERY INCREDIBLE SONGS BY URIAH HEEP. YOU WILL VERY MUCH HAVE A BLAST GOING THROUGH ANY OF THEM. THEY ARE A FANTASTIC BAND!!!

    Uriah Heep is another less known gem from the 70s... such great music!!
    And while discussing 70s music, you ABSOLUTELY must listen to Stevie Wright's Evie (studio version). He was the singer of The Easybeats in the 60s.

    Their album Salisbury is one of my absolute favourites. High Priestess, Time to Live, Bird of Prey, Salisbury are all great songs; and The Park for something slower, more mellow and deeper.
