Mulligan Stew June 7th 2025-60 years later we welcome Colin Blunstone – Lead singer of The Zombies

How is it possible that an English band that was part of the British Invasion of the early ’60s is still being played and referenced in 2025?

The band was The Zombies.

The two leaders were songwriter and singer Rod Argent and lead singer Colin Blunstone.

They had three world hits. A fourth hit the charts after they had broken up.

Many years later, they were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

I always loved the sound of the Zombies. A singular mix of rock, blues and very cool jazz. In a sea of sameness, Colin’s vocals were unmistakable.

Great harmonies lifted each song, and the arrangements were unlike anyone else in “The Invasion”.

Now, along comes Hung up on a dream,  a documentary capturing their careers and lives. Directed by Robert Schwartzman.

Both will be joining us in the second hour.

The complete interview can be found on the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the video version on the Terry David Mulligan You Tube channel.
