Everyone’s Gone To The Moon:  Jonathan King

[TheGent2U]

@1968Hoya46  Fun thing involving Jonathan King. He produced Genesis' first album, "From Genesis to Revelation". It was called that because there was also an American band called Genesis that was making some noise. The American Genesis broke up in 1974. Its founder went on to form another group. She would have used Genesis again, but by that time the lads from England were rather well known. So she chose another name, and her band is still playing even though she, sadly, has passed away. Her band: Vixen.
