Biography
Scottish rock singer-songwriter Francis John Miller, known as Frankie Miller, was born on 2 November 1949 in Bridgeton, Lanarkshire. He began his music career as a teenager with the Glasgow band The Stoics before moving to London in mid-1970 to build his career. In 1972, he inked a solo recording deal with Chrysalis Records and released his debut album Once in a Blue Moon, produced by Dave Robinson. His breakthrough came with the release of "Be Good to Yourself" from his 1977 album Full House, which peaked at number 27 on the UK Singles Chart. His subsequent single "Darlin'" reached number six in the UK. He also collaborated with Phil Lynott on Thin Lizzy's song "Still in Love with You" and wrote songs for films such as A Sense of Freedom. In 1982, he released Standing on the Edge, which marked a departure from his earlier R&B influences. He continued to release albums throughout the 1980s and 1990s, including Dancing in the Rain (1985) and Long Way Home (2006). In 1994, he was impacted by a brain aneurysm that left him unable to speak or sing. He spent years in rehabilitation but returned with new albums like Frankie Miller's Double Take (2016), which featured remastered demos and duets with other artists.
