Composer, singer, and musician Peter Skellern played trombone in a school band and served as organist and choirmaster in a local church before attending the Guildhall School of Music. After graduating, he joined the vocal harmony band Harlan County, who recorded a country-pop album before disbanding in 1971. He then worked as a hotel porter before striking lucky in late 1972 with a self-composed U.K. number three hit, "You're a Lady." It was followed by another U.K. hit single with the title track to 1975's Hold on to Love. Skellern subsequently wrote a series of musical plays (Happy Endings), and in 1985 he joined Richard Stilgoe for the show Stilgoe and Skellern Stompin' at the Savoy. In 1995, Skellern issued Stardust Memories, his first album in nearly eight years. ~ TiVo Staff
