Suzi Quatro - tear me apart
We are here to rock again with the blessed Suzi Q. For some reason we get funky psychedelic SFX which kind of jars with this straight forward rock and roll song. I wonder if she wasn't quite so cute my opinion of this song would be less favourable than it is. I suspect it would. Its OK but not much more.
Talent show winner Berni makes his debut with this country-folk-pop song. It reminds me a bit of Glen Campbell which is no bad thing.
ABBA - knowing me, knowing you
AHA!!!! The video in the snow, emotional looks, story behind those eyes.
Cliff Richard - my kinda life
Cliff is here with some bluesy rock-boogie, or his attempt at it anyway. Not the worst Cliff song but no "Devil woman". Man those trousers are tight.
Elvis Presley's "moody blue" is this week's tune as interpreted by Legs & Co, they come out dressed in pink! No not really, skimpy blue dresses of course and vaguely shake to the tune.
Barclay James Harvest - rock and roll star
Wow its prog rock! Barclay James Harvest are all long hair, rock guitar chord journeys and psychedelic harmonies. Brilliant stuff in a way, especially for this show. The song is cut off early, the other 38 minutes remaining on the cutting room floor.
Maxine Nightengale - love hit me
How to emote the hell out a song. Not a bad performance though the song is a bit so-so.
Showaddywaddy - under the moon of love
Dire, especially the multi-coloured 50s suits. The stuff nightmares are made of, unfortunately they were true.
Billy Ocean - red light
Purple suited Billy is always good value. The song isn't bad though i got distracted by Billy's cuffs which seem to have been borrowed from a Concorde.
Manhattan Transfer - Chanson d'amour
Its still at number 1 and we get the same video as last week, i like the smattering of polite applause as the song starts. You wouldn't get that if they were playing in the TOTP studio!
