History
The band existed in the beginning of: The members were all from various other bands. Carrack and Comer came from Warm Dust, and King of Mighty Baby , whose predecessor the acclaimed band The Action was. Ace was a beloved British band with their funky pop music.

 * Alan "Bam" King ( guitar, vocals)
 * Phil Harris (guitar, vocals)
 * Terry "Tex" Comer ( bass guitar )
 * Steve Witherington ( drums )

Even before the recording of their first album Witherington was replaced by former Bees Make Honey drummer Fran Byrne . The album, Five-a-side, was a memorable debut. How long the song became a huge hit in England, they never equaled below. It was a perfect pop song put together with a hypnotic bass introduction, "borrowed" Travelling song by Pentangle, followed by carracks electric piano . The simple text about infidelity got the attention of the public and became a top 20 hit in the UK and earned the No. 3 position in the charts of the United States.

The band eventually went to the US but was disbanded in July 1977, when most of the remaining members to Frankie Miller went strap.

Of the members of the band Carrack hereafter acquired the most success, first playing in Eric Clapton's band, then in Squeeze, and finally to Mike and the Mechanics . How long took Carrack again and it was a hit in England back in 1996 .
