Chester Biography
After being together only seven months, Chester's single "Make My Life a Little Bit Brighter" became a hit in their native Canada in mid-1973. Guitarist Mike Argue left for a solo career just one year later, leaving vocalist Jim Mancell, Wedge Monroe (drums, piano, guitar) and Glen Morrow (keyboards, guitar, vocals). They broke up two years after that, but Morrow chose Fran Cheslo to sing for a new version of Chester. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
