Silverhead - Rolling With My Baby. A 1974 promotional video. Pete Thompson-drums, Rod "Rook" Davies-guitar, Robbie Blunt-guitar, Nigel Harrison-bass, Michael Des Barres-vocals.

Rolling With My Baby, writen by Stephen Forest and Micheal Des Barres, originally realeased in 1972 on their first lp Silverhead. It was later remastered by Ian Paice of Deep Purple as a single. Suzi Quatro appeared as a Silverette doing backup vocals. Stephen Forest left Silverhead in 1972 and Robbie Blunt joined the band.

Silverhead was an early glam rock group from England. Signed to Purple Records in 1972, they toured world wide appearing with Deep Purple,Uriah Heep, Nazareth and Kiss, to name a few. Japan was especially receptive to Silverhead where they experienced beatle-esq fan swarming. Just when it seemed that Silverhead had the big prize of winning over the US within their grasp, they were disbanded and their potential was never realized.

But that did not stop the music. Nigel Harrison went on to join Blondie and has had a successful career in A&R. Robbie Blunt has recorded with many luminaries such as Robert Plant and the Honey Drippers. Pete Thompson also worked with Plant on Fate of Nations. He has toured and recorded with Robin Trower and old tour mates Ken Hensley and David Byron. Rod Davies began his professional career playing with David Bowie in 1967, worked with brit pop band The Sorrows, then joined Silverhead in 1971. The "Rook" has a new band, The Rod Davies Band, and is writing and performing on the west coast. Michael Des Barres has had a successful career as a musician with the bands Detective, Power Station, and Chequered Past. His song "Obsession " charted Number 1 in 27 countries. The Michael Des Barres Band is currently working all over the LA area. As an actor, Michael has appeared, most notably, as Murdock on the MacGyver TV series.

Thanks YouTube and fans of Silverhead!!!!! My upload of Rolling With My Baby is now a Featured Video. The guys have such gratitude and appreciation for all of you. It was tough when the band broke up, but knowing you are out there, you remember, and you still appreciate the music, makes the bad memories fade and the good ones all the more special.

@abozoette

Thank you for sharing this video!

Just one question: can you tell me where I can find the lyrics of the two silverhead's albums? I just can't find them anywhere.

Thanks a lot

[abozoette]

@Ampzilla76 I've been doing a search myself. I've found several sites that say they have the lyrics, only to find that they need to be added (AOL music redirects to Grim Skunk) Sounds like a good project for someone, perhaps a few someones...Calling all Silverhead fans, can you help us out here?

[marsproxy]

Days at Rodney's

meh, There were plenty of these clones for David Lee Roth to emulate. Check out Jim Dandy of Black Oak Arkansas and tell me he is any less an obvious influence.

@ftftttffttffttf For a minute I thought I was watching an early VH demo tape. The hairdo, the outfit, the facial expressions, the "ooohh-yeeahhs". Diamond Dave is a CLONE of this dude!

Late 70's, Young Mr. Van Halen to a young Mr. Roth: "Hey, Dave, check out this tape of this group called Silverhead. You think maybe you could go with that kind of look?..."
