Insights and incites by Notes Franke Goes to Hollywood had a lot more hits than Relax, there's The Power of Love, Welcome to the Pleasuredome and Two Tribes which is notable for it's video which was very topical at the time: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 How about The Cowsills? One hit, "Hair" and whether you like it or not, the harmonies, production, and performance was stellar. Notes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Here's one I forgot until now. When we covered this in the late 60s, during the 2-beat 'psychedelic' part I took my boot off and played the Farfisa organ with my foot. Complete BS but good showmanship. People were impressed I could play with my foot, musicians knew it was slop and glissandos. I was just a kid having a good time goofing off one day and when it was a crowd pleaser I made it part of the show.

This could be a hit again today - still relevant - if covered by the right person! Probably not this version, then - which, somewhat unaccountably, was essential playing at practically every student party I ever attended... Pip.
