1974 saw the moving on with john (charlie) whitney to form 'streetwalkers' and release the album of the same name. 75 and the added bob tench and hit me with 'downtown flyers' 76, the hard 'vicious but fair' album came in 77, and they got the 'red card' album released 79, solo album 'chappo' was released in 79 too. he worked with 'the shortlist' and released some wicked 'live' albums with them, 'he was she was' 'live in hamburg'

'music in a dolls house' was first in 1968, (what a studio masterpiece) followed quickly by 'family entertainment' in 69. 'a song for me' came in 70 along with the 'live' release of 'anyway', 'fearless was out in 71 along with 'old songs new songs' a remix of some of thier past tracks. 'bandstand rolled in in 72, and family's last album was 'its only a movie' in 1973.

@jahfreedubactivist ... I have always loved Roger Chapman's vocals ... lost touch with what they did after this album and tbh I preferred their earlier stuff ... No Mule's Fool is still on my regular playing list ... thanks for your comments ... and I enjoyed watching your videos on your channel

i never heard anything from their early band 'the farinas' but i have been blessed to have known family since its beginings, jim king on sax then, and they have taught and uplifted me throughout all the changes, theirs and mine.
