The Mighty Avengers (band)


The Mighty Avengers were an English pop group, who were formed in 1962 in Coventry, England.

History

The group were managed by Andrew Loog Oldham, who at the same time, also managed The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote the group's only hit, "So Much In Love", which spent two weeks in the UK Singles Chart, reaching number 46 at the end of 1964.
The song fared better in Australia, reaching #22.
The group released several more singles, including "Hide Your Pride and "Blue Turns To Grey" which all failed to chart. The band split up in the mid-1960s, though several members later joined the group Jigsaw, which had several chart hits in the mid-1970s.
