Their only UK Top 40 success as performers was a cover of the Mick Jagger / Keith Richards composition "Sittin' on a Fence" (1966).[2] The Rolling Stones' version of the song, although recorded in December 1965, was not released on a Stones' album in the US until 1967, and not in the UK (where it again emerged as an album track) until 1969. Twice as Much were managed by Andrew Loog Oldham.[3] Songs that were composed by the duo were recorded by Del Shannon, Chris Farlowe and P. P. Arnold.[3]

In 1972, Skinner joined Uncle Dog, a group including vocalist Carol Grimes.[3] He penned most of the tracks on their album, Old Hat. He was also a member of Clancy.[3] In 1977/8, Skinner toured as the keyboard player with Roxy Music.[3] He also contributed to albums by Phil Manzanera and Bryan Ferry.[4]
