About
Family were an English rock band, active from late 1966 to October 1973, and again from 2013 to 2016 for a series of live shows. Their style has been characterised as progressive rock, as their sound often explored other genres, incorporating elements of styles such as folk, psychedelia, acid rock, jazz fusion, and rock and roll. The band achieved recognition in the United Kingdom through their albums, club and concert tours, and appearances at festivals.
Family's rotating membership during their relatively short existence led to a diversity of sound on their various albums, with lead vocalist Roger Chapman the only member who stayed in the band throughout its existence. The group have been described as an "odd band loved by a small but rabid group of fans".

Family est un groupe de rock progressif britannique, originaire de Leicester, en Angleterre. Formé en 1966, il est composé à l'origine de Roger Chapman (chant), John « Charlie » Whitney (guitare), Jim King (saxophone, harmonica, chant et flûte), Ric Grech (basse, violon et chant) et Rob Townsend (batterie). Sans jamais accéder à la consécration mondiale, probablement à cause d'incessants changements de personnel, Family obtient un succès considérable au Royaume-Uni. Ce succès doit beaucoup aux performances vocales de son chanteur Roger Chapman, à la voix gutturale et au jeu de scène violent
