Around this time, Vanity Fare jettisoned its tailored suits for neckerchiefs and fashions direct from Carnaby Street; more importantly, they also added keyboardist Barry Landeman, previously a member of Kippington Lodge, alongside Nick Lowe and Brinsley Schwartz; Landeman would prove the dominant instrumental element in the group's biggest hit, 's infectious "Hitchin' a Ride," which sold over a million copies in the U.
A North American tour was met with little interest, however, and soon after Vanity Fare returned to Britain. The new lineup scored a minor hit with 's ballad "Better by Far," and concentrated on touring the cabaret circuit, performing as many as 14 dates a week; the grind ultimately forced Jarrett to resign, with former Tranquility bassist Bernard Hagley signing on for "I'm in Love With the World," Vanity Fare's first single for new label Phillips.
In the wake of 's "Fast Running Out of World" their recording career screeched to a halt, but the group continued touring, including several passes through Scandinavia. In , Clinton and Band lobbied Chinese president Jiang Zemin to release two dozen Navy servicemen after their American reconnaissance plane crash-landed on Hunain Island. A few years later, Band negotiated with Saif Gaddafi, the reform-minded son of the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, to honor a settlement compensating the families of Pan Am bombing victims Band was on his way to JFK airport to meet Saif in Paris when he got the call from Clinton about his chest pains.
Band even got an audience with Muammar in a tent in Tripoli. Clinton deputized Band to plan their mission to North Korea, which was kept top secret. Officially, the U. Band called movie producer and Democratic mega-donor Steve Bing, who was in Havana attending a Cuban film awards event, and asked to borrow his Every aspect of the mission turned into a tense negotiation.
For instance, Obama wanted Clinton on the ground for no more than 20 hours, but the North Koreans insisted on an overnight stay, Band recalled. Band and Clinton departed for North Korea on August 2.
Tensions between Band and the Obama administration flared throughout the trip. Band argued for Obama to reconsider. It was a mistake by the White House. Band sensed a diplomatic trap.
It would be a propaganda coup for the supreme leader to host Clinton at a mass rally of , North Koreans. The circular conversation was like a scene out of Veep.
Kim had to settle for a photograph of a stone-faced Clinton sitting in front of a mural of crashing waves by North Korean painter Kim Song-gun. Band is in the picture standing in the second row, right behind Kim. After North Korea, Band began to seriously think about moving on from Clintonworld. He was 36 and had been on the road days a year for more than a decade.
There were other motivators at play as well. His pitch was that CEOs would pay handsomely to have a strategic counselor on call. In , Band partnered with a pair of P. Band and Clinton had a long and difficult conversation when Band announced he was leaving. Loyalty is one of the virtues Clinton prizes most, and as a sign of respect, Band said he proposed a soft break that would, not insignificantly, allow him to remain on the board of CGI, which was attended by exactly the kind of client his new firm planned to sell.
Friends in Clintonworld warned Band he was creating too many conflicts of interest. In the spring of , Chelsea Clinton, then 31, became vice chairman of what would be the renamed Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. After a peripatetic career that included stints at McKinsey, a hedge fund, and NBC News, it was as if she had finally claimed her birthright as heir to the family dynasty. Separated by seven years, they related to each other almost like half siblings.
When Chelsea was in her 20s, Band helped get her concert tickets and restaurant reservations. Owner Nino Selimaj declined the request. In , Chelsea sent Band an effusive Christmas card. But in every family, rivalries and jealousies can fester. Clintonworld sources told me that Chelsea grew to resent Band. Band took offense that Chelsea treated him at times like hired help.
It was a combustible mix that was about to explode into personal grievance.
