John Kincade

[b]Not to be confused with the "band" (in reality a studio-project) [a=Kincade][/b] In 1972, John Knowles was recruited to pose as the front man of [b][a=Kincade][/b] for promotional purposes. He is shown as the (apparently lone) member of Kincade on the cover of their first single "Dreams Are Ten A Penny" (at least on the German, Dutch, Belgian and Spanish releases), and of a Spanish EP of the same name, but didn't contribute to the recording (the song featured vocals by [a=John Carter (2)], the head of the studio-project). Eventually Knowles quit in order to launch a solo career and perform as himself. He took the name of John Kincade (capitalizing on the huge success of "Dreams Are Ten A Penny" in Germany), and released his own singles and LPs with material actually sung by him. To complicate things further, John Kincade recorded his own German-language version of "Dreams Are Ten A Penny" and both the "band" Kincade and the solo artist John Kincade recorded versions of "Shine On Me Woman".
