More on Bob Jackson
Description from Wikipedia:
Robert 'Bob' Jackson (born 6 January 1948, Coventry, England), is a keyboardist/guitarist whose career has been interwoven with various rock and pop bands since the early 1970s.
Jackson formed his first professional rock group in 1969, called Indian Summer. The group released the album Indian Summer in 1971, and then disbanded the following year. Jackson joined John Entwistle's new band "Rigor Mortis" in 1972 and played on their debut tour. Jackson and fellow bandmate Alan Ross decided to put together their own group in 1973, calling themselves "Ross". They released two albums on RSO Records; Ross in 1973, and The Pit and the Pendulum in 1974. This hard rock group failed to capture an audience and disbanded after the release of its second album.
Jackson was hired by the group Badfinger in August 1974, the first time he had joined an established rock act. Although originally secured as a replacement for one of its members, Pete Ham, Jackson was retained as an additional member when Ham withdrew his resignation. Following a British tour supporting the group "Man", Badfinger recorded the album Head First for Warner Brothers in December. Due to legal entanglements and mismanagement, Head First was unreleased at the time. Jackson was finally able to release the recordings on CD in 2000.
Badfinger disbanded following Ham's suicide in 1975. Jackson remained in contact with Badfinger's bassist Tom Evans, and the two joined "The Dodgers" in 1976. The Dodgers released a handful of singles and one album by 1977, the year Jackson was released by the band due to management disagreements.
