Pete S Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Interesting stuff Gaz. I actually remember Bongo Rock being played on the radio in 72-73, it must have been on Radio Luxemburg though I would have thought, I often get it mixed up with another record from the same time called "Dan The Banjo Man" by, er, Dan The Banjo Man, which was out around the same time and also got played a lot on Luxemburg.

Guest Gazfunk Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi Pete - that would've been cool hearing that on the radio when it came out, I'm sure there wasn't much around at that time with that sound. The "band" who were the Incredible Bongo Band actually played the music on loads of other artists of the 60s like The Byrds, The Monkees and even The Beach Boys!! They were amongst the best musicians in the world at the time, plus they had King Errison , just a shame no-one knew who they were.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Gazfunk Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 He was indeed - became friends with Sean Connery and that opened doors for him to perform & eventually move to the U.S. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
