Manfred Mann: Manfred Stand-Out: A Bloke Named Paul
Louise Criscione, KRLA Beat, 16 July 1966
MANFRED MANN is a group but like most top groups they possess one member who stands out, who is immediately recognizable, who is "it." The funny thing is, he's not Manfred Mann. He's rather fair-haired, he'll say anything and usually does. He's Manfred Mann's lead singer and they call him Paul Jones. Sometimes they just call him one of the Jones Boys.
