If you like this you would love their first album. It's a lost and little known classic. I brought it when I was eighteen. I'm sixty four now and still give it a spin. Great stuff.
One of the very best vocal bands of the seventies. I became a club DJ mid 1976 and played this song so many times, I continued to play it throughout my years in the clubs and on the road. Its hard to say why they weren't a huge success; but it was the seventies and the vultures within the music industry took all they could, destroying so many recording artists. I know of some who were....... Steve W Bromsgrove.
@@paulinekeegan5013 He didn't want to credited as Elton so he used the alias Redget Buntavan after the Rentavan that the band had parked outside the recording studio.
ha! Glad it's not just me then! Apparenty the top of the pops when they appear again later in 1977 is wiped (sob!) but there is quite a bit on youtube of them including an appearance on Marc...Also Hugh looks well lush in the marmalade cousin Norman vid and he wrote the song!
i found this great website called "gramble" that lists every song that ever made the top 100. i'm slowly working my way through them and finding out which ones are on you tube. the ultimate in a walk down memory lane.
Intriguing that Sir Elt worked with both bands called Blue ! Sadly the band never really topped their brilliant first album though of course each album has its gems . This misses Timmy on the drums - he went onto be Barbara Dicksons drummer I believe
What a lovely piece of pure "pop" music...........anyone who likes that should check out Costafine town too............simple "switch off" and just be entertained music....magic!!Given the utter crap that's curently paraded as being "music", we need to turn the clox back...........And 2 people have no taste !!!
That freakin' idiot at the start saying all rise for Blue, was Steve Wright the DJ from radio 2. He's stupid enough to think this is the 90's boy band of the same name.
