Murray Seafield Saint-George Head (born 5 March 1946) is an English actor and singer, most recognised for his international hit songs "Superstar" (from the 1970 rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar) and "One Night in Bangkok" (the 1985 single from the musical Chess, which topped the charts in various countries), and for his 1975 album Say It Ain't So. He has been involved in several projects since the 1960s and continues to record music, perform concerts and make appearances on television either as himself or as a character actor.

(Helen played Mme Maigret alongside Rupert Davies in the BBC's 1960s television adaptation of the Maigret novels written by Georges Simenon). His younger brother is Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Anthony Head. Head was educated at the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle in South Kensington, London and Hampton School in Hampton, London.
Darling you'll love it, it's down on the corner
Wearing those star-studded high heel boots
Wear your mascara, try on the tiara
Perhaps it'll cover up some of your roots
She's such a drag
She's such a drag
Leather for pleasure, whatever the weather
Cruisin' and losin' her old cares and woes
Street invitation, the newest sensation
Forget your intention when your petticoat shows
She-she such a drag
Ooh! She such a drag
Step up on the merry-go-round
There's plenty room for more
It's a carnival, a circus that we've gotta preserve
