Shawn Phillips has almost twenty albums to his credit (of which millions have been sold) and a host of associations with some of the most respected names in the industry including Donovan, Paul Buckmaster, J.

Beginning in the 1960s, Phillips made noteworthy contributions to popular music. He performed at the "Isle of Wight" festival in front of half a million people, sang on the Beatles 'Lovely Rita (Meter Maid)' song, and was cast to play the lead in the original production of ''Jesus Christ Superstar'' (he had to withdraw due to his heavy recording and touring schedule.)
