ALL TOGETHER NOW
All Together Now, released in 1972, was the third album recorded by British rock band Argent.

Other featured songs include “Tragedy”, “I Am the Dance of Ages” and “He’s a Dynamo”. The 1997 compact disc re-release of All Together Now by KOCH Records features an additional seven tracks not included on the original seven-track vinyl record. The bonus tracks include “God Gave Rock and Roll to You”, one of Argent’s best-known songs due to the popular cover/remake by Kiss. (More from Wikipedia)
Rod Argent was the keyboard player for the Zombies; they were an English rock band but somehow stood apart from most of the other British Invasion bands. After the Zombies broke up, he formed the band Argent in 1969. They are best known for their million-selling song “Hold Your Head Up”, which was included on their third album All Together Now (1972).
During the sessions for their third album All Together Now, Argent recorded a song called “God Gave Rock ’n’ Roll to You”. It was included on their 1973 album In Deep and was also released as a successful single. The song has been covered by several bands, including the prominent Christian rock band Petra.
