- Richard Darbyshire
Richard Darbyshire, whose name appeared on a couple of Mike Francis albums, A Different Air and Francesko Innamorato and their associated singles has a long and successful musical history. Once a member of Living in a Box and now a solo performer, Richard's most recent album is Love Will Provide.
There's a Web Site devoted to his work which includes an illustrated discography.
- Simona Pirone
Simona Pirone has a voice familiar to all fans of Mike Francis music. She sang on the Features of Love and Dreams of a Lifetime albums and their related singles. She also co-wrote a couple of Mike Francis songs. Among her recordings, however, you'll find her credited variously as "Simona Pironi", "Simona Pirone" or "Simona Perone". (Her opinion of type-setters is not on record.)
Simona now lives in Canada and is recording these days as Simona Peron. Her most recent album Still the Rage was released last year in Canada, Benelux and Scandinavia, but outside these markets is available through such Internet retailers as Amazon.Com. Interestingly, each market release appears to have a different cover. A couple of singles, Rain on Me and Give Me A Sign were also released.
There is a Web Site devoted to her work.
