=== Aftermath === Mann and Hugg were already writing advertising [[jingle]]s at the time of the group's demise, but continued to work together in a group format<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> with [[Manfred Mann Chapter Three]], an experimental [[jazz rock]] band described by Mann as an over-reaction to the hit factory of the Manfred Mann group.<ref>[http://www.platform-end.co.uk/html/history.html Manfred Mann's Earth Band β History Of The Band] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120308020409/http://www.platform-end.co.uk/html/history.html |date=8 March 2012}} Platform End On-Line</ref> For a moment their musical worlds coincided: a TV cigar advertisement, a long track from [[Manfred Mann Chapter Three (album)|Chapter Three's first album]] ("Travellin' Lady"), and "A "B" Side" (the flip of the old group's last single) all used the same riff. However, the new group was short-lived and by 1971 after a [[Manfred Mann Chapter Three Volume Two|second album]] (and an unreleased, possibly incomplete, third) they had disbanded and Mann had formed a new group. The original line-up of this new group consisted of [[Mick Rogers (musician)|Mick Rogers]] (guitar and vocals), Manfred Mann (organ, synthesizer and vocals), [[Colin Pattenden]] (bass guitar) and [[Chris Slade]] (drums and vocals). In its very earliest stages, the band was simply billed as Manfred Mann and thus a continuation of the 1960s group. The quartet (as Manfred Mann) released their first single, Dylan's "[[Please, Mrs. Henry]]", in 1971. Their second single, [[Randy Newman]]'s "Living Without You", was also released under the Manfred Mann name in Europe, but by [[Manfred Mann's Earth Band]] in the US, where the track became a minor chart hit. From 1972 onward, Manfred Mann's Earth Band was the name used on all releases by this group, who went on to achieve worldwide success. Manfred Mann (1962β1969), Manfred Mann Chapter Three (1969β1971) and Manfred Mann's Earth Band (1971βpresent) are officially considered three separate bands. Manfred Mann briefly reformed in June 1983, for an appearance at the [[Marquee Club]] in London to help celebrate the club's 25th anniversary.<ref name="NME Rock 'N' Roll Years 4">{{cite book |last=Tobler |first=John |title=NME Rock 'N' Roll Years |publisher=Reed International Books Ltd. |location=London |edition=first |year=1992 |page=381 |id=CN 5585}}</ref> In the 1990s several of the 1960s members reformed as [[the Manfreds]], minus Manfred Mann himself (hence the name), playing most of the old hits and a few jazz instrumentals, with both Paul Jones and Mike d'Abo fronting the band, either separately or together.<ref name="Guinness Rockopedia"/> Tom McGuinness formed [[McGuinness Flint]] in 1970; they had a few hits before disbanding in 1975. Both Jones and McGuinness have been mainstays of [[the Blues Band]], which they helped form in 1978.<ref name="Guinness Rockopedia"/> In 2009, the Manfreds (d'Abo, Hugg, Jones and McGuinness) joined Klaus Voormann in performing a version of "Mighty Quinn" for his first solo collection ''A Sideman's Journey'', credited to 'Voormann & Friends'.
