About Phil May (singer)
Philip Dennis Arthur May was an English vocalist. He gained fame in the 1960s as the lead singer of The Pretty Things, of which he was a founding member. May remained a member throughout the band's changing line-up over the years, and was one of the band's main lyricists. He was the primary lyricist for the album S.F. Sorrow. In the late 1960s, The Pretty Things started to branch out into psychedelia and May became a prominent counterculture figure, known for his claim of having "the longest hair in Britain", drug-taking and bisexuality. Sorrow, which was released on the Motown imprint Rare Earth, was regarded as the first rock opera album.
