Frank Clarke - 2007/05/27 19:44
Haven't posted on here in yonks, but I think someone on this board may be my best chance at finding out an answer to this...
Does anyone have a clue whether Frank Clarke (legendary session double-bass player, who appears on the "Jake's Progress" LP and tons of other 50s and 60s records - "Move It", "Penny Lane", "Your Song", etc.) is still playing, or even still alive?
Frank contributed a lot of memories and thoughts to Mo Foster's 1996 book "Seventeen Watts?" (a classic "coffee-table" tome on the first twenty years of rock-n-roll in the UK), but beyond that, I've drawn a blank. Wikipedia has nothing on Frank that I can find, and Google searches return plenty of discography pages of work he did years ago, but precious little else.
There's a photo of Frank in "Seventeen Watts?" from 1956, where he looks at least 25-30 years old, so I'd guess if he's still alive he must be approaching his eighties (if not actually in them). Does anyone know any more than I've been able to find?
Many thanks,
Tim.
