Career
Blakley is best known as the rhythm guitarist and keyboard player with the Tremeloes and co-writer of most of their hits until January 1975, when he started writing for other bands.
Blakley formed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes (originally spelt grammatically correct as “Tremoloes”) in 1958. They initially found success in the British Invasion era with lead singer Brian Poole, scoring a UK chart-topper in 1963 with "Do You Love Me". After Poole's departure in 1966, the band achieved further success as a four-piece with 13 top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart between 1967 and 1971 including "Here Comes My Baby", "Even the Bad Times Are Good", "(Call Me) Number One", "Me and My Life" and their most successful single, "Silence Is Golden" (1967).[2]
His credits include co-writing (with Len Hawkes) various hits for the Tremeloes, co-producing the UK No. 42[3] hit "She's Gonna Win", with Bilbo, and co-producing singles and albums by Mungo Jerry with the group's leader, Ray Dorset. He subsequently rejoined the Tremeloes until forced to retire for health reasons.
Personal life
Blakley married actress Lin Blakley, and they had two daughters: Claudie Blakley and Kirsten Blakley.[4] His brother Mike Blakley was also a musician, and a drummer in the band Christie.[5]
Blakley died of cancer in June 1996, aged 54.[6]
