Terry Slesser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Terry Slesser (also known as Terry Wilson-Slesser) is a blues rock singer from Newcastle, England. He is chiefly known for his role as vocalist in ex-Free guitarist Paul Kossoff's band Back Street Crawler, renamed Crawler after Kossoff's death in 1976.
In 1980, he was considered by AC/DC when they were looking for a replacement for their much-loved vocalist Bon Scott, who had died in February of that year.
He is also known to fans of Iron Maiden as the co-writer of "A Rainbow's Gold", which Maiden recorded as a B-side for their single Two Minutes to Midnight in 1984. The song was originally recorded by Slesser's first band Beckett, and featured on their one and only album in 1974.
Slesser is still touring today, mainly as a solo act.
