I've gone over the usual suspects in my mind, but that voice just doesn't ring any bells at all... (this is where you tell us it's actually Elvis, or John Lennon :o )

Too funny Nick. Well this is a huge clue: It's a 60's Britsh Band. So guess away.

A very good guess Roy, but no it's not The Yardbirds

Also a good guess Kira but no it's not The Bluesbreakers.

This is a band that played a lot of traditional American R&B in their live sets. Besides a number of songs that charted well they also had one major hit single (over a million sold) which earned them a gold record.
