Kenneth William David Hensley (born 24 August 1945) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, best known for his work with Uriah Heep during the 1970s.
He wrote or co-wrote the majority of Uriah Heep's songs during this period, including the hit singles "Lady in Black" (on which he sang lead vocals), "Easy Livin'" and "Stealin'", as well as "Look at Yourself", on which he also sang lead vocals, and "Free Me".
Born in London, Hensley moved with his parents, three brothers and sister to Stevenage, Hertfordshire in 1945. He learned how to play guitar at the age of 12 from a Bert Weedon manual. His first gig was at The Mentmore Pen Factory, in Stevenage (September 1960). After that, he played with The Blue Notes, Ken and the Cousins and Kit and the Saracens (1962). In 1963, this band evolved into The Jimmy Brown Sound, and they recorded some now lost songs. At this time, Hensley's first "professional" opportunity almost came about: they were to back Ben E. King on a British visit, but it never happened.

Ken Hensley - The Return How low will you go to be part of the show Are you willing to leave God behind Do you think you can ride on your ego and pride With your faith out of sight and out of mind I want you to know, I don't want you too wait I want you to know before it's too late Do you know who to trust as you life turns to dust Will it be the beginning or the end? With eternity to loose, be careful as you chose Whether God is your enemy or your friend He's going to return, the tide is gonna turn You can choose to live and learn Or you can crash and burn But he's going to return Will you be ready when he comes To feel the thunder of his drums Will you be ready for the call You can stand or you can fall He's gonna take it all Sure, you can hold all your silver a...
Romance In the early morning just at daybreak I am faced with the steps that I must take And I know we can't be together No, not today, tomorrow or forever As in a dream I turn for a moment I feel the joy of that our love meant It hurts to know that we can't be together Not today, tomorrow or forever I can only dream now of New York and Paris And of the days in my grand Moscow palace I won't forget, I will always remember Though you are gone, not just for now but forever We will never forget, Hallelujah, Hallelujah ... Don't say goodbye my love, our hearts sadly yearning Can it be true you won't be returning The way you said we cannot be together No, not today, tomorrow or forever And I will live for you in every lonely place In every moment's sleep I will see your face But as I reac...

I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking, And destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win. She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men To fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god. And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies, So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life. But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals, So easy to begin and yet impossible to end. For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay. "Oh lady lend your hand, " I cri...

Here comes trouble In the shape of the lady She started cool but now She's coming 'round daily She's got some big ideas About being my baby It's her game with the name of love
Now she's sure pretty That I have to confess But no five-star fox Is getting me in a mess Let's buy a ring, she says Go out and get blessed It's her game and she calls it love
Rock 'n' roll rules my soul Pushing everything And everyone to one side But when it all grows old The chill's still cold When I sing with my sweet guitar It's her game and she calls it love
