This song was originally written by Al Atkins. Al founded "Judas Priest" in 1969. That band broke up in 1970. Later that year Al joined the trio Freight, formed by KK Downing, Ian Hill and John Ellis. They all agreed to carry on with the name "Judas Priest", and the rest is history. So Al Atkins brought the name "Judas Priest", is the original vocalist, and a founding member. He was also the main songwriter in the early days; his contributions made it to Rocka Rolla (1974) and Sad Wings Of Destiny (1976), "Never Satisfied" and "Victim Of Changes" (first half of the song) to name a few. After Judas Priest, Al Atkins formed the band "Lion" (no recordings); later on he started his solo career in 1989, and he's going strong up until this day. Check out his solo recordings, great stuff!
