The Zombies disbanded. In the early 70's, Blunstone re-emerged as a solo act, and scored several major hits. The music featured rhythm guitar now and ranged from string arranged melodies, to rock, to American folk. The Zombies were never far away; for instance, "Andorra", written by co-Zombies Rod Argent and White, is a remake of "Time of the Season".

"One Year" was his first solo album.

In the late 70's Colin lent his voice to The Alan Parsons Project, a logical progression from his solo work, as can be heard in a song such as "Old and Wise".

Colin is currently touring and recording again with Rod Argent, another founder member of the Zombies, performing both new material and hits from their joint and solo careers.

Don't Feel No Pain No More

Baby don't you cry no more
My baby, don't you cry no more
I've been a lot of trouble
But I won't be anymore
Baby, don't you cry no more

I'm listening to that midnight whistle blow
I'm listening to that whistle blow

And come tomorrow morning
I'll be leaving on that train
Listening to that whistle blow

I confess to being a fool
Bled your heart and did you cruel
So I'll leave you with your eyes closed
And your head turned from the door
And you won't have to cry no more

Walk away
Sad to say
Love's grown thin

When it's old
Love is cold
You can go too long

So wipe away the salt tears

From your eyes so red and sore
And you won't have to cry no more
