John Cameron

John Cameron is a British composer, arranger and conductor. He came out of Cambridge in the mid-1960s, arranged Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" and wrote the score for Ken Loach's Kes (1969). In the 1970s he made many library albums for KPM, set up the brass-heavy band CCS with the producer Mickie Most, and later orchestrated Les Misérables for the stage. Cameron worked on Donovan's songs for Loach's Poor Cow, and the Kes score used jazz players such as the flautist Harold McNair. His KPM albums include Afro Rock and Voices in Harmony, the latter with Keith Mansfield.
