Two Leicester rhythm and blues bands, Jim King and The Farinas, formed one of the most exciting formations of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Family. Despite never achieving star status, the band is one of the defining progressive bands of the era. They quickly became critical favorites and attracted a large fan base with their music. The two defining figures of this unique sounding music are Roger "Chappo" Chapman and Charlie Whitney, who pioneered the double-neck Fender guitar. Chapman's scratchy, cigar- and whiskey-infused voice and Whitney's unique guitar playing were the foundation on which Family built their sound and style...
