Vince Kidd

Vince Kidd formed in Los Angeles in the late 1960s with Vince Lockwood on vocals, Ricky Davis on guitar, Terry Bass on bass, and Bobby Carter on drums. Their debut album 'Beyond the Veil' included the song 'Almost Angels,' which became their most recognizable track. The band's early work had a straightforward rock sound with melodic hooks and Lockwood's clear vocal delivery.

They recorded a version of 'Back to Black' that showed their interest in soul and R&B material alongside their original rock songs. Other tracks like 'Sick Love' and 'Good Thing' appeared in their catalog during the 1970s and early 1980s. The band went through a hiatus period where some members worked on other projects before regrouping.

Vince Kidd's lyrics sometimes drew attention for their direct emotional content, particularly in songs dealing with relationships and personal reflection. They maintained a steady output of albums through the 1970s and into the 1980s without major commercial breakthroughs but with a consistent sound that appealed to rock radio listeners of the era.
