The quest for Jones was to put together a band who could bring his ideas to life, and he began with two Englishmen whom he already knew. I knew that first album would sell at least a million copies even before it was recorded, because I had complete faith in Mick.” “Our relationship was more than just a manager and his client. “I understood from the start that Mick wasn’t just an artist, but one who had the discipline to make things happen,” Prager once said. “I threw down the gauntlet to him to prove he could be an effective manager for me, and he dared me to prove that I could actually put together my own band and make my musical dream come true. The pair had met because Prager managed Leslie West, but now they began to realise there was a synergy between them, one that would later prove to be mutually beneficial.“We challenged one another,” laughs Jones. One of the most crucial people involved in this project from the beginning was Bud Prager. I was very comfortable with the idea of doing rock with a soulful feel – and that was the foundation for the new band.” I had gotten into R&B and also loved soul music. “What I wanted to do was a British take on American music. In 1976, Jones began to bring to fruition a vision he’d been harbouring secretly for a long time. Working with Leslie was such a privilege he was a great guitarist and songwriter, even though there were harrowing experiences at times. However, I got the chance of joining the Leslie West Band. But when Spooky Tooth broke up I was left high and dry in New York. “Then Island Records asked us to get Spooky Tooth back together, and that lasted about three years.
