TOE FAT
CLIFF BENNETT, JOHN GLASSCOCK, KEN HENSLEY, LEE KERSLAKE
At the end of 1969, Cliff Bennett had seemingly run out his string as a British Invasion-era star. Seeking a new sound and image,
he hooked up with keyboard player/singer Ken Hensley, bassist John Glascock, and drummer Lee Kerslake, all of whom
had previously played with a group called the Gods (who later became known for having Greg Lake,
in his pre-King Crimson days, as a member). For unknown reasons, they christened themselves Toe Fat and
managed to get signed to Parlophone and then to Regal Zonophone in England, with their albums
appearing in America on the Rare Earth label. Their mix of blues and progressive rock wasn't the most commercial of sounds in any case,
and the grotesque cover art on the group's two LPs seemed to repel potential purchasers

The late-'60s success of heavy-handed acts like Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience,
and Led Zeppelin instigated many British musicians -- young and old -- to grow their hair
and start hard rock bands, and London's oddly named Toe Fat were no exception....(AllMusic)
