60 years later, we welcome Colin Blunstone - Lead singer of
The Zombies
How is it possible that an English band that was part of the
British Invasion of the early '60s is still being played and
referenced in 2025?
The band was The Zombies.
The two leaders were songwriter and singer Rod Argent and lead
singer Colin Blunstone.
They had three world hits. A fourth hit the charts after they
had broken up.
Many years later, they were inducted into the Rock Hall of
Fame in Cleveland.
I always loved the sound of the Zombies—a singular mix of
rock, blues and very cool jazz. In a sea of sameness, Colin's
vocals were unmistakable.
Great harmonies lifted each song and the arrangements were
unlike anyone else in "The Invasion".
Now, along comes Hung Up on a Dream, a documentary
capturing their careers and lives. Directed by Robert
Schwartzman.
Both will be joining us in the second hour.
