July 29, 201014 yr Jon Ford - he did an Ok sort of version of "You got Me Where You Want Me" Cheers Mick
July 29, 201014 yr Did these ever get plays though ? ............................Was there a track by The Glitter Band that got plays or is this just urban myth - I certainly don't remember it unless it was The Flamming Emeralds in discuise ?? The Glitter Band did a couple of pretty good instrumentals. "Makes You Blind" is great and was a big record on the early disco scene in New York. Dunno whether it saw any action here. Wouldn't be surprised. There's also one called "Tuna Biscuit". I've heard rumours that they also had releases on Contempo under other names.

Over to you tube to see if they're on there ............................
July 29, 201014 yr Over to you tube to see if they're on there ............................ Found 'Makes You Blind ' , must be a different lot to the lot who backed the kiddie fiddler surely ?
July 30, 201014 yr Found 'Makes You Blind ' , must be a different lot to the lot who backed the kiddie fiddler surely ? No, the same. They weren't a proper band as such, just very competent session musicians hired by the producer of his first record who found themselves with a full time job once it was a hit. There was always a lot of love for contemporary US black music amongst British musos in the 60s /70s and i guess this was just them letting their hair down on a b-side of one of their hits (turns up in Oxfam all the time!)

Initially , The Glitter Band did not exist as a working unit until after the success of " Rock and Roll " ( Parts 1 & 2 ) " for Gary Gutter in 1972 . The co - writer / arranger / producer of the " song " was Gutter's manager Mike Leander ( which was an adaption / reworking of one of Leander's earlier compositions " Shag Rag , That's My Bag " ) , who had played all the instruments on the studio recording . Following the success of the record , Leander knew he had to cash in on the success of the record ( a UK number 2 ) , and had to find a backing band for Gutter's live performances . Leander approached session musician John Rossall , who was a member of The Boston Showband . The BS became The Glitterman , and ultimately , The Glitter Band . The Glitter Band were only used for live performances : all the instruments on the sessions for Gutter's subsequent recording sessions were played by Mike Leander , except for the brass sections .

August 1, 201014 yr I've no doubt the purists will hate this. But the Q-Tips (lead singer Paul Young) were a great soul covers band. Here their version of the Soul Brothers Six - Some Kind of Wonderful. And below Paul Young reunited with the Q-Tips brass section in 1987 for a bit of Joe Tex and Arthur Conley. Not your thing? - then don't bother. MB
