1) Fox was a British-based rock band led by Kenny Young (composer of the song Under the Boardwalk) and Australian singer Noosha Fox (real name Susan Traynor).
Early demos of the popular band's music were recorded by vocalist Clodagh Rodgers before Young put the band together.
The first eponymous album was released in 1975 on GTO Records and contained two major UK hits "Only You Can" and "Imagine Me, Imagine You".
The follow-up album, "Tails of Illusion" moved Noosha more to the vocal background, the majority of the tracks being sung by Young. Roger Taylor of Queen added backing vocals on one of the songs.
The next album "Blue hotel" has Noosha back on vocals for all songs, but the only major hit off that album was "S-S-S-Single Bed" in August 1976. Noosha left the band right after this album and the band went separate ways to reform briefly in 1980 to release "Electro-People", which was written as the theme music for the Kenny Everett Show.
The band line-up was:
Noosha Fox - Vocals
Kenny Young - Guitar, Vocals
Herbie Armstrong - Guitar, Vocals
Jim Gannon - Lead Guitar, Vocals
Pete Solley - Keyboard, Vocals
Gary Taylor - Bass, Vocals
Jim Frank - Drums, Percussion, Vocals
After the break-up of the band, Young and Armstrong worked in the band Yellow Dog, Armstrong worked with Van Morrison and Solley became a member of Whitesnake. Noosha tried to launch a solo career but with only limited success.
Two compilations have been issued "Only You Can" in 1996 and "The Very Best of Fox" in 1998.
2) Fox was a psychedelic classic rock group with only one release to their name, recorded in 1970.
3) Currently, FOX is the working name of Birmingham-based musician, SIMON FOX
Discography:
"The First Rule Of Comedy" by Lonesome Fox (e.p. - 2007)
"Fruit" by Fox (single - 2009)
"Everything Is For The Best" by World Of Fox (album - 2009)
"Skip More School" (split single, including Fox - 2009)
A prolific and committed independent musician, SIMON FOX was formerly leader of Birmingham’s post-rock pioneers, GROVER . Between 1993-2003, Grover released a host of albums, singles and split releases on independent labels around the world. Broadcasts on BBC Radio1 (including a Peel Session in 2001), plus airtime on a variety of independent stations in Europe and the USA, helped Grover build a dedicated international fan-base and influence the UK post-rock scene.
Since then, Simon has quietened down, trading sweeping guitar theatrics for more intimate, acoustic-led songwriting. The new songs, performed under the moniker FOX, show a more personal, reflective side, with deceptively rich arrangements, a disarming wit and a flair for creating intimate moods. Recordings feature Simon playing a wide variety of instruments, including guitars, banjo, percussion, keyboards, theremin, mandolin, even occasional brass and woodwind.
As well as performing solo, Simon can often be seen/heard collaborating with other artists. Most notably, he is one half of electronica duo KRAFLA, was a founder member of the EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC COLLECTIVE, recorded and gigged an album with CLAIR HORTON, is currently working with JAMES SUMMERFIELD and is a regular guest DJ for the GRUMPY MAN DJs.

Who can strum a tune by the light of the moon
Make me love like you do in the afternoon

Some people say the 60s was a revolution, but the 70’s fine tuned it. Noosha was like a smouldering volcano.
