GARY BOND
Gary Bond (7 February 1940 – 12 October 1995) was an English-born film and television actor. On stage, he most famously played Joseph in the 1972 London production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Later, he succeeded David Essex as Che Guevara in the London production of Rice and Lloyd Webber’s Evita, initially opposite Elaine Paige and, subsequently, Marti Webb. (More from Wikipedia)
A recording of the full Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat musical was released on MCA Records in 1974, featuring Gary Bond, Peter Reeves, and Gordon Waller who had appeared in the 1971 production in Edinburgh. The review of the album by Sarah Erlewine in Allmusic notes that “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has the distinction of being the only musical that starred Michael Damian, Donny Osmond and Andy Gibb.” (Osmond later appeared on a DVD of the musical).
