Best remembered for his 1972 smash "It Never Rains in Southern California," pop singer/songwriter Albert Hammond was born May 18, 1942 in London but raised in Gilbraltar, Spain. During the mid-1960s he fronted the local band Los Diamond Boys, but upon relocating to Britain in 1966 formed the Family Dogg with friend Steve Rowland; although the group's 1969 debut LP "A Way of Life" generated a hit title track, subsequent releases flopped and Hammond eventually exited the lineup. After a brief tenure with the Magic Lantern he mounted a solo career; "It Never Rains in Southern California" reached the U.S. Top Five in late 1972, followed early the next year by an album of the same name. The Free Electric Band appeared in 1973 as well, and with his self-titled follow-up Hammond returned to the Top 40 with the single "I'm a Train; " though he continued his prolific recording pace throughout the remainder of the decade, he eventually became best known for his songwriting, co-authoring Leo Sayer's 1977 chart-topper "When I Need You." With frequent collaborator Diane Warren, Hammond also wrote the Starship hit "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" and Chicago's "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love," while with the great Hal David, he penned the Julio Iglesias/Willie Nelson duet "To All the Girls I've Loved Before."
