I saw in the Guardian earlier in the week that Dan McCafferty lead singer of Nazareth, one of those Scottish groups which found success in the early 1970s, has died – only a few months after the band’s guitarist Manny Charlton passed away.
McCafferty had the perfect voice for a singer of hard rock’n’roll. That voice was shown off to great effect on Love Hurts – see here.
I also noted a couple of the band’s cover versions in this post.
Here’s the band’s second UK hit, a no 10 in 1973 as performed on The Old Grey Whistle Test.
Nazareth: Bad, Bad Boy
William Daniel (Dan) McCafferty: 14/10/1946 – 8/11/2022. So it goes.
