The Move - Blackberry Way 1969 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder if your brother had this one too Balo. the LSD number (not that your brother would dream of such connotations) lol.

 always loved this one by Argent

 

It was a great favourite in the discos at the time, all the guys trying to do their best Mick Jagger impersonations, pumping one fist in the air!

Another one from Alan Price.

Who remembers Alan Price surely remembers Georgie Fame ?

Here he is some years on ( 2000 )

Alan Price covering the Beatles

Alan and Georgie doing one of their many duets , seems like they were never off the telly in those days !
Of course, having a regular spot on Morecambe and Wise never hurt anyone’s career [emoji51]

I remember Georgie Fame. Alan Price was great, wasn't he? A passing era.

They were both great !
A firm favourite on the telly in the seventies despite that hair and those sideburns !!

A rare performance on TOTP 1977

 

 

Talking about one hit wonders, this is one of the great ones, 1976. British band,  who would have thought ? 

 

 

 

A classic one hit wonder, written by Pete Townsend I believe.

Not Pete Townsend but Speedy Keen  according to Wikipedia.  Interesting story about the band how they were discovered by Pete Townsend and also the young Jimmy McCulloch , he was a great guitarist but died of a heroin overdose in 79.   They have all passed away . 

 

Thanks for the correction balo.

Ronnie Lane. Loved his album with Pete Townsend.

 

What an uplifting number

22 replies to a topic and 20 of them are your own ? pointless, and for those of us with less than fast internet connections here in Thailand all those You Tube clips cause bl**dy havoc.

 

 

 

Works for me as there's a bunch of good tunes posted.

 

  My "rescue song" yesterday on the way back from Cambodia after the engine got overheated, etc..bla, bla..

 

      

 

 

Maybe if you stayed here long enough you might remember this one. Very catchy indeed.

 

 

Focus 1973 

 

 

I think Brian is telling us it's okay to be poor in this song. At least he seems to be saying the rich are empty spiritually. Being poor I'll go along with that.
