[Heeplist] Heep in Classic Rock

[Don Malecic]

Heeps asset was having a drummer and bass player that could sing .
Collectively a powerful melodic choir that produced another instrument for
the band. Lee was a secret weapon in the Heep arsenal.
Im curious what Phil’s got up his sleeve, for a next project, if any?
He does a great job with production and sound quality, which is so
enjoyable to listen to. In my opinion .
