Duffy Power, a distinguished figure in the British blues and rock scene, embarked on his musical journey in the late 1950s as part of the same London milieu that spawned such luminaries as Mick Jagger and David Bowie. Born Raymond Leslie Howard in 1941, Power initially gained attention as one of the early artists signed to the influential label, Parlophone. While initial releases positioned him as a potential teen idol, Power's artistic inclinations leaned towards a more eclectic and soulful blend of blues, jazz, and rock, distinguishing him from his contemporaries.

Throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s, Power's work, including albums like "Duffy Power" and innovative projects such as "The Marquis Sessions," showcased his versatility and willingness to experiment with genre and form. His collaborations with prominent musicians of the era contributed to a rich, albeit underappreciated, body of work. Despite facing challenges with commercial success, Duffy Power remains a revered figure for aficionados of British rock and blues, celebrated for his unique voice and pioneering spirit. His later releases, such as "Dusty Road: The Adrian Millar Sessions 1972-73" and "Innovations," offer a compelling glimpse into the depth and breadth of his talent, securing his legacy as an influential, if somewhat unsung, hero of his time.
