This Love Of Mine (ver. 1) by Frankie Miller - Piano Sheets and Free Sheet Music

Frankie Miller (born Francis John Miller, 2 November 1949) is a Scottish rock singer-songwriter and Vocalist who had success in the 1970s. Miller was raised at Colvend Street, Bridgeton, Glasgow with his parents, Kathy and Frank, and elder sisters Letty and Anne. He attended Sacred Heart Primary school . He was an altar boy in Sacred Heart Chapel. He also played football for the school team and Harmony Row Boys Club. He wrote for and performed with many influential recording artists and is best known for his album Full House, the single Darlin' and his duet on Still in Love with you, with Phil Lynott. In an article published in Rolling Stone magazine in 1978 Bob Seger remarked that Miller, "was a huge influence" on him. He first became aware of the power of rock and R&B through his mother’s record collection. She had a fondness for Ray Charles while his sisters introduced him to Little Richard and Elvis Presley. He identified instinctively, with Little Richard’s flamboyant aggression, once saying "The music was alive, exciting, I loved it. I realised later that I could get my own aggression out through music. R&B and Soul Music, I just knew was what I really loved". He started writing songs at the age of nine after being given a guitar by his parents and wrote "I Can't Change It" when he was just twelve years old, this song was later recorded by Ray Charles. Miller began singing professionally as a teenager with a Glasgow band called The Stoics. Towards the end of the 1960s, he moved to London to further his career. In 1971, he was 'discovered' by the guitarist Robin Trower, who had just left Procol Harum and was looking to put together a new band. Miller introduced fellow Glaswegian bassist and vocalist James Dewar to Trower and the three of them, along with ex Jethro Tull drummer Clive Bunker, formed Jude in July 1971, but despite significant coverage in the British music press, they broke up in April 1972 without recording an album. The Miller and Trower composition "I Can't Wait Much Longer" later appeared on Trower's first solo album Twice Removed from Yesterday.
