    Imants Strauks - surely one of the greatest, creative and most interesting rock/pop drummers in our history. It is just brilliant listening to how interesting he makes a song while at all times staying true to the groove and feeling. Thank you for being a role model for me.

    Good work Ross. I'll bet when he produced this song in the studio back in 1974 he never thought that he would be fronting the band singing lead vocals 40 years later.

      That's Ross Wilson (Daddy Cool), he made Skyhooks! Without him there would never have been Skyhooks.

    What a neat surprise. I'm thinking - "but who could fill in adequately for Shirley??" But Ross was the producer of the Skyhooks records, so l guess it makes sense. AND IT IS GOOD.

      Either Ross Wilson or Leo Sayer could easily front the band. They would own the club circuit in Australia.

    There wasn’t a house party in the 70’s that wasn’t blasting out “Living in the 70’s” - Skyhooks were massive - saw them live at Swinburne Uni when they reformed in the 80’s with Shirl upfront - bloody awesome 🤩

    Fantastic! It's great to have you back even if for a short time. Wish I had of been there that night :( That distinct Skyhooks sound...cannot mistake it.Miss ya Shirl, you were an amazing front man. Loved the Hooks back in 74' and always will.

  • @mattjohn66
    @mattjohn66 Рік тому +1

    Now that was great. Made my evening. There's something genuine about letting Ross Wilson front the band given his pivotal role in Skyhooks history. Miss you, Shirl, though.

    Went to this as an avid Skyhooks fan. Definitely not the same without Shirl but the guys rocked it.

    Juke magazine has Kiss on the cover saying America,s Skyhooks. I laughed at the time and then became a huge Kiss Fan as well. But Skyhooks were Australian and that is what makes them special.

      Skyhooks were streets ahead of Kiss, they wrote and sang about local stuff that we could all relate too.

    I can relate to this song.. I was 18 , Freda was 26 and hugely overweight .. She kept calling me at home and even at work .. My own version of Balwyn in real life when this Skyhooks song came out..

  • @markdp1983

      Not even John Farnham could hit notes that Shirl could reach.

    • @johnmitchell5782
      @johnmitchell5782 Рік тому

      You are right. A lifetime ago I saw John Farnham singing "Women In Uniform" and Shirl joined in and kicked John's brains in. I know it was Shirl's song. But even the great John Farnham couldn't compete with Shirl.

    That was a bit sad, a bit disrespectful to Shirl.
    The ONLY possible frontman who could step in for Shirl would have been Claude Crow. He would have done it for a bowl of used band aids as well.
