Biography

Andy Pratt, born on January 25, 1947, in the United States of America, is an American rock singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His career began with the release of Records Are Like Life in 1969. In 1973, Pratt signed to Columbia Records and released his self-titled album Andy Pratt, which included the single "Avenging Annie". This song peaked at Number 78 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was later re-recorded by Roger Daltrey for his 1977 album One of the Boys. The original version of "Avenging Annie" became the B side of Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light" on a CBS promotional disc. Pratt continued to release albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including Resolution (1976), Shiver In the Night (1977), and Motives (1979). His work has been noted for its experimental nature, with Rolling Stone magazine describing his 1976 album Resolution as carrying rock harmony beyond the Beach Boys and the Stones. Pratt's discography includes over twenty albums, with notable releases such as Not Just For Dancing (1983), Perfect Therapy (1986), and Fire of Love (1993). His music has been featured in various films, including the soundtrack to Velvet Goldmine in 1998.
