A classic song from a band that had a stream of hits in the 60's.
Most of their songs were written by Phillip Goodhand-Tait and were big productions with
lots of orchestration. Although a big success they were heavily criticised by the media
for not playing their instruments on some of their recordings, relying on session
musicians and an orchestra. However I saw them live in the late 60's and found them to be a good
live band with plenty of energy and some great guitar work by Rex Brayley with Steve
Ellis adding a vocal sound which still today takes some beating.
If any of the band, (Steve Ellis, Rex Brayley, Mike Jackson, Mo Bacon or Morgan Fisher)
get to see this tab please drop me an email - love to hear from you, and please correct
any mistakes I've made!!
