Suzi Quatro - The Wild One 1974

Moskow Man from U.N.C.L.E. 1978

 This was a Trowbridge band from the late 70s. Met them when they came to the punk nights at the Hexagon Frome. They had a record out in about 78 and they got signed to Rialto. They could have been big. Saw them a couple of times but they didn't really have an audience. They got asked to play the Blitz club by Rusty Egan but their manager turned it down.

Van Morrison and The Chieftains "My Lagan love" 1988

 I was going to post the Dusty version but I opted for this instead. Historical song from the Belfast area.

My Lagan Love - Wikipedia

Where Lagan streams sing lullabies There blows a lily fair. The twilight gleam is in her eye, The night is on her hair. And like a lovesick lenashee She hath my heart in thrall. No life have I, no liberty, For love is Lord of all. And often when the beetles horn Has lulled the eve to sleep, I'll steal into her sheiling lorn And through the doorway creep. There on the cricket's singing stone, She makes the bogwood fire And sings in sweet and undertone, The song of hearts desire.

The Coasters "Searchin'" 1960

 A band I was into during the early 80s was the Coasters. 

BARRETT STRONG - Oh I Apologize [Anna 1111] 1959

 I think this was a B-side to 'Money (That's What I want)' but I am not sure. Anyway I really like it - mainly 2 chords. Strong is mainly known for his compositions these days.  Barrett Strong bio
