Roburt Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) I got to spend some time with Oliver in the mid 80's up in Scotland (when he was signed to Move Records). He was a very amiable guy, easy to get on with and very down to earth for someone who had enjoyed a few big hits. I loved a few tracks off his Oliver LP 'The Boss' and his album with Round-Trip but "Get Down Saturday Night" has always been my top fave from him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2UZ7BGRkE4 A Round-Trip cut ................ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTsbxY7MTl8 R.I.P.
