  Mungo Jerry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dorset found the group's good-time blues and jug band repertoire a little restricting, and in 1972 he released a solo album "Cold Blue Excursion", with his songs backed by strings and brass and, in one instance, a jazz band.
They thus gave Ray Dorset, who was, in the eye of media and public 'Mr Mungo Jerry', with his outstanding voice, and talent as composer, the chance to renew the band; together with bass guitarist John Godfrey from the former line-up of the group, and new fresh musicians.
In 1983 "Mungo Jerry" Ray Dorset was part of the blues supergroup Katmandu, which recorded "A Case For The Blues", with guitarist Peter Green, formerly of Fleetwood Mac, and keyboard player Vincent Crane, formerly of Atomic Rooster.

Mungo Jerry was formed in 1970 by singer/guitarist Ray Dorset (born March 21, 1946), who had a fascination with early rock & roll sounds, as well as skiffle and blues.

The record, an easygoing, catchy skiffle-like piece reflecting the mood of the season in its title and the sexual ethos of the late '60s was an instant hit, shooting to number one in England in only two weeks and riding the charts for much of the summer.
