About Dean Ford
Dean Ford was a Scottish singer and songwriter best known for his tenure as lead vocalist and frontman of the beat pop group Marmalade from 1966 to 1974. Ford co-wrote the group's worldwide hit "Reflections of My Life" with fellow band member Junior Campbell. "Reflections of My Life" has sold more than two million units globally, and in 1998 the writers were awarded a Special Citation of Achievement by BMI for attaining radio broadcast performances in excess of one million in the U.S. alone. Three years later, Marmalade, with Ford as lead singer, became the first Scottish band to score a No. 1 hit on the UK Singles Chart, also racking up ten other consecutive quality hits worldwide. After his solo album failed to chart, Ford was subsequently released by his record label. Ford also recorded one-off tracks with former Marmalade band member Hugh Nicholson.
