John Richard Baldwin was born in Sidcup, Kent, England on 3 January 1946. He started playing piano at age six, learning from his father, Joe Baldwin, a pianist and arranger for big bands in the 1940s and 1950s, notably with Ambrose and his Orchestra. His mother was also in the music business; which allowed the family to often perform together touring around England as a vaudeville comedy act. Furthermore, his influences ranged from the blues of Big Bill Broonzy, the jazz of Charles Mingus; to the classical piano of Sergei Rachmaninoff.
