Biography:
John Kongos, (b.23 July 1946, Johannesburg, South Africa), is a singer/songwriter.
After relocating to Britain to follow a musical career, his first album, "Confusions About a Goldfish" (1970), was unsuccessful. The next year he had two hit singles – "He's Gonna Step On You Again" (UK #4; U.S. #70) and "Tokoloshe Man" (UK #4). His second album "Kongos" made the Top 40 of the UK Albums Chart, but subsequent singles, "Great White Lady" (1972), "Ride the Lightning" (1973) and "Higher than God's Hat" (1975), failed to chart.
