Alan Charles Klein (born 29 June 1940)[1] is an English singer-songwriter and musician.
[1] In 1966, he went on tour as lead vocalist of The New Vaudeville Band, billed as 'Tristam, Seventh Earl of Cricklewood'.
[1] A year earlier, Klein wrote and performed a parody of "Eve of Destruction", with an attack on folk-singers such as Donovan and Bob Dylan, entitled "Age of Corruption".
It used the same melody as P. F. Sloan's song, and was released as a track on Klein's album Well at Least It's British, and as a single.
[4] "Honey Pie" / "You Turned a Nightmare into a Dream" was also released in the U.S., under the pseudonym "Earl of Cricklewood" (Page One 21,021; March 1969).
