Mungo Jerry Biography
Mungo Jerry began life in the late 1960’s as a blues/jugband which was always capable of bringing an audience to its collective feet. This was something which the band did frequently at festivals across Europe during the early seventies. In 1970 Mungo Jerry hit the big time with ‘In the Summertime’, a song which stayed at the top of the UK singles chart for some weeks. It was to become one of the most instantly recognisable songs of the era.
‘In The Summer Time’ was the start of a major career for Mungo Jerry who went on to have a number of further hits throughout the seventies including ‘Baby Jump’, ‘Lady Rose’ and’ Alright, Alright, Alright’. Whilst founder member and leader of Mungo Jerry, Ray Dorset, acknowledges his illustrious past, like many artists he has moved on and produced a fine and respected body of work. In addition to the many Mungo Jerry releases, Ray recorded an album with Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green and Vincent Crane of Katmandu. He has also written songs for the likes of Elvis Presley, Dr. Feelgood, Bob Dylan, Elton John and many others.
The band which is still in high demand for live concerts, is led by Ray Dorset who is seen to be Mungo Jerry, in much the same way as Ian Anderson is thought of as Jethro Tull.
