Steve Forbert reminds me a lot of Chris Norman.

Once again listening to the playlist I lost track of time and heard some really good songs which in fact weren’t in the playlist

ahhhhh I knew I heard his voice from somewhere but google let me down and didn't say anything about Smokie. It sounded so distinct.

Great track that got one vote off me. Very good playlist.

Ranged from 90 to 37 with most being in the 70's or 80's for me.

Edit - I’m an idiot. You were talking about Chris Norman lol. I don’t claim to know anything about the band Smokie anyway but heard sone shit by them. Anyway I’ll just crawl back into my hole.

“When your body’s had enough of me and you’re laying flat out on the floor… when you think I’ve loved you all I can, I’m going to love you a little bit more…”


Who tf is Dr Hook?

My dad had two albums of theirs - the millionaire and the very greatest hits. It had a yellow and blue cover I think and had Sylvia’s mother, walk right in, cover of the rolling stone, a little bit more and most of the other tracks on that list you’ve got there. There was also a song called the radio which I’ve never seen on any other iteration of their greatest hits. Australia always has slightly different releases with these things. I’ll see if I can find it coz it’s really good.
