Biography:
Keith West (born 6 December 1943 in Dagenham, Essex, England as Keith Alan Hopkins) was the lead singer of Tomorrow, a 1960s psychedelic rock band. West composed most of the band's songs (duly credited to Keith Hopkins). Despite critical acclaim and support from DJ John Peel, who featured them on his "Perfumed Garden" Radio London show, the band was not a great financial success.
In 1964 West became lead singer of "In Crowd" a rock band from London, which was renamed to "Tomorrow" later.

I grew up listening to this song, and it brings back fond memories of
traveling up to London in the back of my Mum and Dad's car with my Sister,
to visit my Nan and Grandad. My Sister used to cry her eyes out every time
we put it on (without fail) much to my amusement. She got her own back on
me though by getting them to play 'Everything I own' by Bread.
