Turning Point were a late 1970s fusion band from the UK. The band was formed by Jeff Clyne (bass) and Brian Miller (keyboards), who had previously played together in Isotope, and Pepi Lemer (wordless vocals). Also in the band were David Tidball (saxes) and Paul Robinson (drums). They recorded two albums: Creatures of the Night (1977) and Silent Promise (1978), both on the Gull label.
They toured the UK, including supporting National Health in 1977. Their final tour in 1980 included Allan Holdsworth, Neil Ardley and Gary Husband.
P. Lemer was the then-wife (later divorced) of Pete Lemer and went on to become a vocal coach, including working with The Spice Girls. Robinson later worked with Nina Simone. Miller worked on the musical Cats for several years.
Famous quotes containing the words turning and/or point:
“Really, friend, I cant let you. You may need them.
Not till I shrink, when theyll be out of style.
But really II have so many collars.
I dont know who I rather would have have them.
Theyre only turning yellow where they are.
But youre the doctor, as the saying is.
Ill put the light out. Dont you wait for me....”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“The realization that he is white in a black country, and respected for it, is the turning point in the expatriates career. He can either forget it, or capitalize on it. Most choose the latter.”
