Here, are the songs of Chrispian St Peters...listen and the pied piper will lead you through the deep and magical world of his creations....

Crispian St. Peters once said that he sang better than Elvis, and whether or not this is true, he certainly is strong compitition as far as his voice goes. He was a very talented singer, his voice is smooth and seems to flow easily with harmonic control. Each song on this LP is a song which shows talent. The very first song, "Your Love Has Gone" shows right off of the bat the talent that this artist has. His smooth voice is heard best in the song "You Were On My Mind". And yet, though some the songs on this LP have the smooth sound most comparable to some of the singers of decades later, there are songs such as "When We Meet" and "Goodbye To You", that show yet a more American sort of beat, which puts him in direct competition with some of the more well-known singers of the 60's era.

In 1964, as a member of the beatrock band, Peter & The Wolves, St. Peters made his first commercial recording.
St. Peters was signed to Decca Records in 1965. His first two singles on this record label, "No No No" and "At This Moment", were good but proved unsuccessful on the charts. He made two television appearances in England in February of that year, featuring in the shows Scene At 6.30 and Ready Steady Go!
In 1966, St. Peters' career finally yielded a Top 10 hit in the UK Singles Chart, with "You Were On My Mind", a songthat was also a hit in the United States for We Five in 1965. St. Peters' single eventually hit #2 in the UK and was then released in the U.S. on the Philadelphia-based Jamie Records label. It did not chart in the U.S. at first, however his fourth release, "The Pied Piper", became forever known as his signature song. Under manager David Nicolson's tutelage the shy star was momentarily transformed into arrogance incarnate and astonished the conservative music press of the period by his suggestion that he had written 80 songs of better quality than those of The Beatles. Other stars were also waved aside as St. Peters announced that he was better than Elvis Presley: "I'm going to make Presley look like the Statue of Liberty . . . I am sexier and more exciting than Tom Jones . . . and the Beatles are past it". Outraged readers denounced him in letters columns. However, St. Peters' comments were meant to be tongue-in-cheek as he explained in an interview by Douglas Antreassian entitled "Then and Now - Britain's Pied Piper Sets The Record Straight". St. Peters returned stronger than ever with "The Pied Piper", a Top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
