Biography
Denver Gerrard shared a fleeting spell of British rock prominence as half of the Warm Sounds, a duo he launched alongside Barry Husband during 1967. The pair reached number 27 on the U.K. charts via the trippy psychedelic pop track “Birds and Bees,” which appeared on Decca Records’ Deram Records imprint and helped usher in London’s Summer of Love that same year while also topping select pirate-radio playlists as a major underground favorite. No further commercial traction followed, and the partnership dissolved in 1968 after a short tenure on Andrew Oldham’s Immediate Records label. Gerrard resurfaced four years later under the name Denny Gerrard with the solo release Sinister Morning, an album issued on Decca Records’ budget Nova Records subsidiary and supported by all four members of the underground folk-rock group High Tide.
