Tony Burrows - the man, the LEGEND!
Not enough golden oldies. Bring them back . 😀
can not beat the 60s or 70s for music
Nice song. Thanks for posting. I like Tony Burrows. Great singer. I have most of the records he sang on but not this.
Good memories! Thanks for sharing! Tony Burrows leading the band! Song written with my lovely wife Gill.
Should have charted !!! Great song , one of my favs` , was played on Radio 2 a lot at the time...David Hamilton if I remember.
You two are such a talented pair.
god thought tony burrows had sang on most records but this new to me what a guy
Geoffrey Boniface The most talented man ever!
First class song in many ways
I noticed Tony resisted the temptation to slip the name of one of his (very deserving) hit records in the song! A great track!
all class this guy very talent and the music was eady and simple to listen to lol
I love this song. Interesting they reference 1982 and 1986 when this song came out in 1977.
Appologies to Ms Shakespeare, always remembered Carter/Shakespeare wrote Beachbaby, never knew Shakesppeare was a lady. Well done anyway, shows you are never too old to learn.
I like it.
I completely agree! New wave is my favorite genre, late 70s and early 80s ftw.
Sue and Sunny are on the original Brotherhood of Man song 'United We Stand'. They were also on TOTP with Cocker when he did 'Help from my friends'
i feel that way today- whatever happened to rock and roll. what are we gonna do about today? however, we can't have too many golden oldies. we just need some decent new music.
@FabFM
Also Chicory Tip, Edison Lighthouse, The Pipkins (with Roger Greenaway of Blue Mink) and White Plains - in fact, he made 3 appearances on a 1970 edition of Top Of The Pops, fronting Brotherhood Of Man, White Plains and Edison Lighthouse.
@Inkvis
Sunny had a solo hit with Doctor's Orders.
Yeah, your right. It does kinda start off like Beach Baby.
@TomTresh3 True
Echo the comments by music expert. I would LOVE to see any footage of Sue & Sunny. Doctor's Orders perhaps anyone?
Primera clase seguro espectacular musical. preciosa manana voy auna.tienda para ver si encuentro una cancion quue no la tengo espero me la busquen besos xxxx
Look for a video of United We Stand by Brotherhood of Man, it or How Do You Do by James Last.
The beginning of this song rips off the beginning of Beach Baby badly.
Yes, I know this is the band that did Beach Baby, but still, kind of shameless.
He's (John Carter) paying tribute to "Beach Baby" (also his) the way he's paying tribute to the other songs in this tune. Should have been a hit.
You can never have too many golden oldies - they are much better than any of the rubbish from the last 20 years.
redhairkid whole point of the song.
Love this band, but still wondering why they chose the person they did to play the DJ at the end. His attempt at an American accent is terrible!
