Subject: Re: Trying to find THAT song with THAT old sample
Written By: Wyldemere on 12/15/07 at 12:01 am
I'm new to the forum with a possible 70s band that did a cover of Bill Fury's 'half way to paradise'
I came across several covers of the song but they are sang similiar to the original by billy fury. The song I remember was sung by a man who had a voice similiar to Mickey Thomas of Starship. In fact, I was almost sure it was him in the band but haven't found anything that ties him to a band that sang it. For some reason I keep thinking the band was name referenced a city but then again I thought it was mickey thomas.
This group came out before CDs because I remember owning it on a LP that I received at Christmas from my parents. It was either out in the late 70s when I was a teenager or early 80s. I wouldn't even be surprised if the group only put out one LP . So far everyone I know has drawn a blank with this one.
Yeah I know I don't have much to go on but its driving me crazy! I appreciate everyone who loses a brain cell or two trying to remember this one!
Thank you!
