The Manfred Mann Album

Manfred Mann’s 1964 U.S. debut The Manfred Mann Album is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of the British Invasion, and it’s easy to hear why. With the catchy smash single “Do Wah Diddy Diddy” alongside powerful readings of classics by Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Ike and Tina Turner, it’s a transcendent meeting of pop infectiousness and R&B grit that sets the stage for the musical achievements that the band would soon begin to rack up.
