stayed hidden if not for the illness. Raymond was diagnosed with TB in his
teenage years & was forced to change his life style. Froggie decided
to advertise for musicians to put together a Band, four very talented musicians
called The Monopoly were to become Froggie’s new Band. Before long Froggie
became signed to the top record companies of the time Polydor, Bell, Jet Warner,

honour as his songs were being recorded by artist all over the country and
abroad. Cliff Richard, Dave Clark Five to name but a few. Still today his songs
are recorded by major artists. In 1992 Raymond released his autobiography
