About Crispian St. Peters

Crispian St. Peters was an English pop singer-songwriter, best known for his work in the 1960s, particularly hit songs written by the duo The Changin' Times, including "The Pied Piper", and Ian & Sylvia's "You Were on My Mind". His popularity waned after he claimed he was a better performer than other well known singers and declared that he was a better songwriter than the Beatles. Peters made his first commercial recording. His first two singles on this record label, "No No No" and "At This Moment", proved unsuccessful on the charts.
