Gordon Haskell - Worms

GORDON HASKELL - It Is And It Isn't . (Atlantic - K40311 1971) Gordon Haskell is usually thought of as a footnote in the history of King Crimson--the only lead singer in the group's long list of personnel who never played a single live date with the band, though he was with them long enough to cut most of an album (Lizard) and get one performance ("Cadence And Cascade") onto its predecessor. Otherwise, he's been an enigma even to many Crimson fans. Haskell's history with Robert Fripp goes back to the days they spent together in the mid-1960's as members of the League of Gentlemen, a band that backed various American r&b stars on tour and cut a couple of singles.
