Jackson Heights were an English rock band, led by bassist and vocalist Lee Jackson, that ran from 1970 to 1973. Other players included Brian Chatton (born Brian Charles Chatton, 19 July 1948, Bolton, Lancashire), Dave Watts (ex-Tornados; from Bromley, Kent) playing keyboards and King Crimson's drummers Michael Giles and Ian Wallace.
Their debut album King Progress included a reworking of "The Cry Of Eugene", a track originally by The Nice on their first album, The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack, as well as original material including "Doubting Thomas" and "Insomnia".
Vocalist John McBurnie would later work with Patrick Moraz, who was in Refugee with Jackson.
