Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 This other group with the same name, was it a girl group Certainly not Isis. In fact our blokes group had an even earlier name with 'men' in their name. That's probably not helpful though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Need to get this sorted. So: Northern tune from Wigan 'pop' era. There's also a slightly later version by another group who also did a song that Dusty covered. Lots of other people too including an instrumental version by a later variation of the second band. Our guy did the Northern tune as a solo artist though and it's (clearly) a white stomper. Label sounds like it should be a taxi firm or removal company... ...I'm giving it away now.

Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Right. The band that that did the other version of his Northern tune also had a hit with a tune that was pretty big on the Northern scene a few years ago via an unreleased version by the Supremes. Come on pop fans. Can you tell it's getting near bed time... Edited September 27, 2009 by Godzilla Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
