Warlord

John Deacon, the bass player from Queen put together a group by this name to do the music for the film version of Biggles made in the mid 1980s.

Great thanks.
I got a mint copy of the 12" off the car boot for £2 - still love it, the sequel track "I shall return" os on youtube, pretty rare I imagine.

Re: One Hit Wonders

One hit wonder? Goombay Dance Band?

Oh my, no.

Goombay Dance Band

Re: One Hit Wonders

Seven Tears - bit more concentration on the production and we would be talking anthem level.

The main thing wrong with the single was the cheesy picture of them all in fur coats!

Re: One Hit Wonders

The Goombay Dance Band - Seven Tears, please tell me this was a one hit wonder and that I didn't miss out on numerous other fabulous tunes of theirs?!

Re: One Hit Wonders

The Ultimate Warlord, by "The Immortals" very strange electric dance disco 12" from the 1980's, I have it on 12" disco mix, I believe it was something to do with a big pop star but I can't remember who.

Ooh. Boris Gardiner - I Wanna Wake Up With You!

I wanna wake up with you (ooh darlin')
I wanna reach out
and know that you're there.
I want you to be
the first thing that I see.
I wanna wake up with you.

Noooooo!

I could be the Omega Man, and rather than all the phones ringing, all of the radios switch on, and this is playing. Mind you, I would go and watch Raiders of the Lost Ark on the big screen every chance I got.

Re: One Hit Wonders

Here's another one - Obsession by Animotion (1985).
This one popped into my head about 3.30am !

Oh dear lord. Anyone who managed to get the Pole Position in Vice City generating revenue knows this song only too well...
