Short Biography
Andy Pratt (born January 25, 1947) is an American rock singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. In the 1970s, he made a number of experimental records, of which "Avenging Annie" was a commercial hit. Avenging Annie was first heard as a bootleg tape that circulated in SE New England about the summer of 1969 when there was no commercial rendition outstanding. Because of this, Pratt recorded the song commercially a few years later. The tempo and flavor changed and may have accounted for the disappointing sales, as fans did not get the recording they might have wanted. Afterwards, Pratt moved to a more commercial approach with the album Resolution, of which Rolling Stone magazine wrote, "By reviving the dream of rock as an art and then re-inventing it, Pratt has forever changed the face of rock". Pratt converted to Christianity in the late 1970s and continued to make records and perform at major Christian pop music festivals.
