David Hemmings is mostly known as a screen actor, his most famous role in his youth being the photographer in Michaelangelo Antonioni's classic 1966 Swinging London-set Blow Up, though he continued to appear in films for decades, landing roles in Last Orders and Gangs of New York shortly before his death. In the wake of Blow Up, he also had a little-known career as a recording artist, issuing a solo album, Happens, on MGM in 1967.Actor David Hemmings was afforded pop star-like status after his dashing turn in '60s pop culture flick BLOW UP, so it's appropriate that he took time out from the day job to make an album with members of The Byrds. Released in 1967, HAPPENS is a nine-track folk rock album by the talented actor. I recommend this album to all who loved the Byrds in their psychedelic era.
