Live Albums By Tony Ashton

Tony Ashton was an English singer and keyboard player who played a combination of R&B, soul, blues and jazz. He was a member of Ashton, Dyke & Gardner who had a #3 hit single with Resurrection Shuffle. He also formed a friendship with Jon Lord of Deep Purple which saw them play together before and after Purple split up in 1976.

The lack of a recording contract or sufficient money to record his own albums meant that Tony Ashton became a session musician after Paice, Ashton & Lord broke up. Health issues became a bigger problem and he died from cancer on 28 May 2001.
