Den Titel habe ich auf einem Vierspurtonbandgerät von Grundig.Hin und wieder lass ich es laufen.Zu der Zeit einer meiner Favoriten.Einfach Su....eh fantastisch.
Man, what a blast I had listening to this song in Poland in the 1970s and 1980s!! And what a band from London it was!: an interracial mix including two talented black musicians and founded by Eddie Grant, a true rock genius, who later released an international hit "Electric Avenue."
Billy Best Viva Billy Best Billy Best Viva Billy Best Viva! Viva! Viva Billy Best Viva! Billy Best and his goal machine Everybody's gonna see a sensation I'm gonna tell it to the nation Hear what I say now... Back in November and December of 1968, my beloved team, Southend United, won two FA Cup matches 9-0 and 10-1, against King's Lynn and Brentwood respectively. Billy Best scored eight goals in these games, netting five in the last twenty minutes of the latter game! Happy memories!
Spotify just played this for me in a mix of otherwise pretty standard 60s stuff. I did a double take because it sounds straight out of 1983. (I had the same thought the first time I heard Baby Come Back in Idiocracy) The Equals were before my time and none of their stuff gets played on the usual oldies outlets - I suspect because it doesn’t sound like everything else. Funny how what should be a strength (having your own sound) turns into a hindrance when dealing in nostalgia. Something similar happens to bands in the early 80s that were post punk new wave but not synth based. Acts like Tonio K or Marshall Crenshaw get forgotten by radio.
