Blue Mink was a British six-piece pop group that debuted in the late 1960s and achieved success in the early 1970s. The band, which included notable members like singer Madeline Bell and keyboardist Roger Coulam, was known for its blend of pop, rock, and soul, and is remembered for hits like "Melting Pot" and "The Banner Man". Their music often contained socially conscious lyrics, a distinctive element that set them apart at the time. Despite their relatively short tenure, Blue Mink's innovative fusion of styles and thought-provoking lyrical content contributed significantly to the evolution of popular music in the early 70s.
