Memories of SpaceArk

Peter Silberg First of all, I want to thank Peter Silberg co-founder, lead guitarist, songwriter and member of the group SpaceArk for all his info. One year ago I had the pleasure to find a rare single entitled " Just one look / Darling " by Fatu . It was released on Fire Mountain Records in 1980. Immediately I noticed that composer on the track " Just one look " was Troy Raglin and Peter Silberg members of the group SpaceArk. Of cource I knew this group because some years ago, I heard the song " Phantom lover " by SpaceArk from a site. For this reason I found out info about this group. SpaceArk SpaceArk was an obscure soul/rock group from Los Angeles that began in 1973 and disbanded in 1979. SpaceArk's founding members were Peter Silberg (lead guitarist) and Troy "Troiel" Raglin (lead singer). Original members were Reggie Austin on bass, Bryan "Skip" Reed on drums and Russell Greene on keyboards. Subse
