On the cover of music magazines around the world, and on the lips of music writers and alternative fans since the mid '80s is the name and image of Perry Farrell.

It was one of the most memorable hit singles of the late 1960s, an hypnotic, walking bass led swirl through an unreleased Bob Dylan song, that seemingly confirmed in the public eye that the critics had been saying for a year or more. That, in an age already awash with ?super groups, ? the combination of singer Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger and his Trinity was poised to become the most singularly innovative union of them all. It didn't work out like that. Today, they're probably best remembered for a sixties hit that was reworked for the theme to TV's Absolutely Fabulous. But still, the Driscoll-Auger Trinity remains among the most imposing partnerships of the late 1960s. This is their story.
