Tim Staffell & Paul Stewart - How High



















Tim Staffell & Paul Stewart - How High - 2020

Tim Staffell  was the lead singer and bassist of the now legendary sixties rock trio Smile, alongside guitarist Brian May and Roger Taylor. When he left to persue other musical projects in 1970 , his college friend Freddie Bulsara took his place as lead singer. The band changed their name to Queen and Bulsara changed his name to Mercury.




The 2018 biopic 'Bohemian Rhapsody' depicts this chapter in history, portraying a gig where Smile performs 'Doin' All Right', which Staffell co-wrote with May (and was also recorded with Mercury for Queen's first album). Staffell supplied new vocals and bass parts for the movie and official soundtrack: 'Doing All Right - ...Revisited'.




Staffell has continued to write and perform original music in the decades since he left Smile, collaborating with luminaries such as  drummer Colin Peterson (Bee Gees), keyboardist and composer Morgan Fisher, guitarist Snowy White and Chaz Jankel (Ian Dury & The Blockheads).
