Formed in London in 1962, this group was called after their keyboardist, Manfred Mann.

The group was regularly in the charts during the 1960's. They took great pride in their sound - with overdubbed woodwinds, vibes, harmonica and a second keyboard adding considerable weight - demonstrating their jazz-inspired technical prowess.

They scored many hits including "Do Wah Diddy, Pretty Flamingo and Mighty Quinn".
