Argent's biggest hit was 'Hold Your Head Up' (written by Rod Argent and Chris White). Argent broke up in 1976 Rodford joined the Kinks, while Argent himself recorded several solo albums and became a record producer, working with Tanita Tikaram, among others. Argent is an English rock band founded in 1969 by Rod Argent after his previous band, The Zombies, broke up.
Without Ballard, the group lost its focus and indulged its tendencies toward extended art rock passages and improvisational solos to somewhat excessive levels. God gave rock and roll to youGave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Saved rock and roll for everyone
Love your friend and love your neighbour
Love your life and love your labour
No, its never too.
By 1974, Ballard had developed his songwriting talents enough to leave for a solo career (Three Dog Night had a Top Ten single in 1971 with his "Liar," from Argent), and was replaced by guitarist John Verity and string player John Grimaldi. Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah) God gave rock and roll to you.

Argent's first two albums, Argent and Ring of Hands, received a fair amount of critical acclaim, but their real breakthrough came with 1972's All Together Now, which contained the Top Five smash "Hold Your Head Up" In Deep produced a minor hit in "God Gave Rock 'N' Roll to You," which was covered by Kiss in 1992. The group's other members were guitarist/songwriter Russ Ballard, bassist Jim Rodford, and drummer Bob Henrit. After the Zombies broke up, keyboardist/songwriter Rod Argent formed his own band in 1969, which incorporated more classical, jazz, and art rock influences in accordance with Argent's musical training.
