Frankie Miller, born in Glasgow in 1949, sings like a man who has been gargling gravel and sheer nerve, and Full House, his 1977 album, is where that voice finally got the frame it deserved. "Be Good to Yourself" is the calling card, a strutting, big-hearted rocker, and "Darlin'" gave people another reason to remember his name.
He is a songwriter as much as a singer, writing for and playing alongside a long list of other acts, and he picks up a guitar as readily as a microphone. He fronted the Frankie Miller Band, recorded for Chrysalis and traded lines with Phil Lynott on the Thin Lizzy song "Still in Love with You". Somewhere along the way he found time to act, too.
