This artist fronted the British rock band whose name actually was Mud. "Tiger Feet" was one of the band's hits featuring Les Gray's vocal stylings; although active since the late '60s, Mud failed to splatter across the pop charts until developing a relationship with the songwriting team of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn. These songwriters have worked in several different genres, although they are sometimes classified away as creators of bubblegum rock. By the time Mud's hits puddled up, that genre classification had been replaced by a reference to substances much less likely to be put in someone's mouth and chewed on, as in glitter and glam.
