As of late he has performed with his own band, FEINSTEIN.
The latest lineup of the band also includes Jeff Howell (from Foghat and The Outlaws) on bass, as well as John West (of Artension and Royal Hunt) on vocals.
They released one album so far; "Third Wish" in 2003.
Their sound can be described as old school Hard Rock / Heavy Metal in the vein of Dio, Black Sabbath and Rainbow.
Feinstein's former band, THE RODS, are currently back in the studio and are due to release a new CD in late 2006 or early 2007.

Traveling in

I LOVE This Song, SO MUCH!!
Anthony Newley, Who Was A Wonderful Lyricist, (Great Actor, As Well!), Wrote the Lyrics to This BEAUTIFUL Song, As Well As, "Candy Man," and "The Oompa Loompa Song!!" (Of Course, From "Willy Wonka!!") Mr. Newley Also Wrote the Lyrics To, "Who Can I Turn To, (When Nobody Needs Me)," (A Hit for Tony Bennett, Among Others), "Pop, Goes the Weasel," /"What Kind of Fool AM I" And, "Once in A Lifetime," (Both Hits for Sammy Davis, Jr.)!!
Also, Mr. Newley Wrote the Title Song for the, (Sean Connery), "James Bond" Film, "Goldfinger," (A Big Hit for Wonderful Songstress, Shirley Basset!!!)
For Me and A Few of My Dear Friends Tho, "Pure Imagination," Has Deeper Meaning, and We Can't Help But Cry, Pretty Much Every Time We Hear It. It Was the MOST Favorite Song of My Friend's Son, Christopher, Who Passed Away 20yrs. ago, at 12 Years Old. Chris Asked That It Be Played At His Funeral,...It Was Played!
Listen To the Words!! When We Do, We "Imagine" Christopher at Peace, In Heaven, Singing,...
"...If You Want to View Paradise, Simply Look Around
and View It,....."
"....There Is No Life I Know, To Compare With Pure Imagination,....Living There, You'll Be Free, If You Truly Wish To Be!"

Newley wrote the melodies and Bricusse wrote the lyrics unless they for some reason overlapped like Lennon and McCartney did but I doubt it.
