They first hit it big with "Who Can It be Now".

Somewhere burried in my unorganized collection of CD's is a "one hit wonder"
CD and it has 'em all.

Remember DeLites' "Groove is in the Heart?"
Bootsy played on that and it is a great tune.

How about some "Pink Floyd wannabees"....

Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio

[Nostril Cheese]

Yeah, they had more than one hit, but I totally loved this band. They were awesome live..

Eight Seconds - Kiss You (when it's dangerous) 1986

This was my buddy's band...he's the drummer.....probably not big in the US but it was pretty big here in Canuckland! They were a two-hit wonder back then........OK, it didn't make him filthy rich!...he's working for the Gov of Canada but still plays occasionally.



I "auditioned" as the bass player back then.....but I sucked big time!

This song is great, I think that was their only hit, I may be wrong

Funny, my wife is really good friends with Charlie Angus (MP and former bassist for L'etranger). Had some interesting conversations with him.

A couple more 'Mouldie Oldies' - Man I am really digging into some of my dark & checkered past with some of this tripe from my vinyl collection - naturally the part of which hasn't (& maybe shouldn't) seen the light of day for many years.

I think they had a hit with talking in your sleep also. The video was a hit by my standards.

I liked the Youtube comment, "The 37 people that disliked this song needs to be hunted down and punched in the throat..."

[craigster59]

The call were agreat band. Saw them live at The Country Club in Reseda with Garth Hudson keyboards. They also had a minor hit with "Let The Day begin".

These guys were good too. had another minor hit with "I Still Want You" that I think was used in a beer commercial.

[craigster59]

These guys were out of the Netherlands. Hadn't heard this song since 1971 till 4 months ago they played it on the local college station...
