Curved Air are an English progressive rock group formed in 1970 by musicians from mixed artistic backgrounds, including classical, folk, and electronic sound. The resulting sound of the band was a mixture of progressive rock, folk rock, and fusion with classical elements. Along with High Tide and East of Eden, Curved Air were one of the first rock bands after It's a Beautiful Day, The Flock and the United States of America to feature a violin. Curved Air released eight studio albums, the first three of which broke the UK Top 20, and had a hit single with "Back Street Luv" (1971) which reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.

Like most young men I was madly obsessed with Sonja. She was everything a young man wished for. Hugely talented, beautiful beyond words and so mysterious. Happy days early 70s.Saw them twice live Birmingham town hall and another venue I forget.. Superb band. Bought all of their early albums and I still have them. Today's world makes me miss those times so much..

What's surprising is that she sings a low alto line here (as a tenor, I can sing with her). Female rock or pop singers are almost always in the high female register. This low (but very clear and both strong and sensitive) voice creates some very unusual tension. Great.

@Bevsworld04
@Bevsworld04 Год назад
​@bobair2 to me, the problem is the music itself. It's very "fake" (I guess), very little instruments, just synthesised through a computer, and there seems to be a lot less feeling within a song. They've become a lot less complex and less interesting to listen to, and the bit of good music that still comes out is suppressed because it isn't marketable anymore

RIP Francis, very sad news last week. Part of a great group of people who made one of the greatest live albums ever - 801 Live! Recorded at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with Eno, Phil Manzanera, Simon Philips, Bill McCormack and the late great Lloyd Watson, it was the first live album of it's kind with direct inputs from individual instruments to the mobile studio mixing desk. If you've never listened to it I would encourage you to do so, absolutely brilliant.

@@johnb7644 Aye! Mountford hall was great wasn't it. caught John Martin there as well, Liverpool was fantastic for gigs, almost everyone played here. My first was The Kinks at the Empire, saw Floyd there too. Mostly at the Stadium though, it seemed like there was a great band there every week, what a brilliant time to be alive for touring bands. and the free festival scene, Ah! Happy Daze. ✌️🐝☮️

One of the very best singles of all time, and Sonja is probably my favourite female vocalist of all time, so magical and often haunting. Sounds kind of Irish even though she was from deepest Essex.

Loved this band for nigh on 40 years and still dig them today! Even had the pleasure of meeting Sonja at an after show at clumber park nr Worksop in 2011 and got her autograph too ! Would’ve loved to chatted more to her about current affairs and the state of the world! Hope to see them on tour soon

They made a lot of great songs; I'd recommend that you try to find their albums and give them a good listen to, I don't think you'll be disappointed. The fellow who played keys and guitar in this video, Francis Monkman, later became a member of the Classic/Rock fusion band SKY, along with Herbie Flowers (Bass), Kevin Peek (Guitar), John Williams (Guitar) and Tristan Fry (drums) - Flowers is known for the famous acoustic bass line on Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side".
