Chris Parren. By 1980, when he joined Midnight Flyer as a replacement for John Cook, Chris Parren was already a veteran of a number of bands, and his keyboard skills ensured he was much in demand as a session musician. One of Chris Parren's first bands was Forever Amber, who released an album ‘The Love Cycle' back in 1969.
While produced by Jackson's longtime producer Lew Futterman, the album was largely a project of keyboardist Chris Parren, later associated with The Strawbs, among other bands, and trombonist John Bennett, who had developed his reputation as a jazz musician, with Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen.
