Listen (band)

Listen was an English 1960s Mod-styled rock group from the West Midlands, featuring singer Robert Plant, lead guitarist John Crutchley, bass guitarist Roger Beamer, and drummer Geoff Thompson. The band was formed in June 1966, and managed by Birmingham agent Mike A. P. Dolan from the London-based Malcolm A. Rose Agency. Listen recorded a cover of the Young Rascals' 'You Better Run' backed with 'Everybody's Gonna Say' (UK CBS 202456, US Columbia 4 43967), in October 1966. The single was not a successful as the band had hoped for and the group subsequently folded. Plant went on to join the Band of Joy in 1967.
