Graham wrote “No Milk Today” for Herman’s Hermits and “Secret Agent Man” for Johnny Rivers way back in the day. He looks like he’s only 45 in this clip. Amazing.
This is such a historic piece of footage never lose this my God 😮 they came and went never seen again, they were England's answer to our indie band phenomenon The Sunny Boys...
This is a silent hit. It's a depth charge of a song that you will be digging days after you listen to the cd or lp version - it is really so good. That beautiful voice, that nifty little hook 🪝
Nothing against Sixpence, but The La's rule on "There She Goes."It's their flagship song, to be sure. anyway. Timeless Melody is great. THANK YOU LA'S , you've made our lives better with your music. I hope you do a new album sometime,...we'll be waiting. God bless ya's from Minnesota USA.
lol! I always saw John Power as more McCartney-esque. John Power went on to the fantastic band Cast. Really good that like The La's made music that still is good in 2024.
La’s great representation of Liverpool culture, even their outfits lol. Though a lot of young scousers are now wearing Nike and Under Armour gym wear casually anyone know why?
Unfortunately for Ron, media idiots didn’t promote him. He is directly one of the reasons I no longer listen to the radio. Social media has also killed new music., or at least the choice of music. For example, first part of the Lego movie is really a horror movie. Sad thing is even adults who watched it when it was first released will still not get it. Everything is awesome 😂
Years ago, I heard Noel Gallagher say that after he’d had several hits, there were a few songwriters that still intimidated him, they were just so brilliant. The one he picked out for special mention was Lee Mavers. I think he’s our least developed artist. What he left us is all special. I’m sad there was no more, but in truth we were lucky to get even that. He’s a fragile soul. Comes with the territory.
Pure unadulterated acoustic song bliss. What a band. More musicianship in this one set than Nirvana and Oasis combined. Flawless vocals, great guitar lines and memorable chorus’s.x
Mate I agree as The La's are one of my all time favourite bands but Nirvana and Oasis were worldwide popular for a reason. If Lee and the band hadnt been so stubborn in alot of things they could have been as massive as both Nirvana and Oasis.
The best song in my addled opinion is Fishin Net. They never released it but there a few live versions out in RU-vid ville. If you've never heard it, your in for a treat.
