MIKE FURBER - YOU STOLE MY LOVE - 1966

[bloodrivercanyon]

Nowhere near as good as the original recording by The Mockingbirds

[wazzabarlow]

What about Toby Jugg - If Paradise Is Half As Nice? Would have been on cahnnels 7 and 9 moring shows in 1969/70

[keirrac2]

I remember going several times to see Mike Furber at a club, downstairs, in Castlereagh Street, Sydney when I was 16. Loved him. Still have his album (LP) in my collection at home.

Hi Dr. Pepper, This is a clip of Mike on Go!! sadly nothing of Kommotion has survived.

[DoctorPepperOz]

My group The Union were on Kommotion with Mike Furber the day this was filmed. Does anyone have our tunes "Thump" and "The End"?

[spoofa20]

Hi -He also played at the Royal Melbourne Show (same year I think),with Ross D. Wylie,Toni and Royce,and Donna Gaye.

[aussiemusicheritage]

cool, please to assist

[dianaholloway]

Thanks so much for your reply Steve. I have been racking my brain over that one for some time.

mike furber is GOD!

[bubba8k]

I am so glad this video is still in existence! I remember Mike Furber from a Sydney disco many yeara ago and have always loved that song!

[aussiemusicheritage]

Fair enough, just a great song

[mcphert1]

Love the Yardbirdsesque rave up in the middle.

[Aussiesound1]

Looks like an ABC Australia Production. Mike made his TV debut on the ATVO/10 show ( Now 10 Network) Kommotion hosted by Ken Sparkes and this is not from that show. The girls adored Mike and his sad early passing was Australias loss

[aussiemusicheritage]

In fact it is from Episode 97 of Go!! hosted by Ian Turpie, not half as good looking as Ken Sparkes, however he was dating Olivia Newton-John at the time. Mike also appeared twice on Brian Henderson's Bandstand in 1969 and footage exists of Mike on Club 7 teen hosted by Johnny Young on Perth Television, before John took over the hosting of Go!! when Turps vacated the chair to join Terry O'Neill on Channel 7's "Time For Terry"

[Aussiesound1]

Good one glad to see someone is on the ball and keeping tabs on our history which has in many areas been ignored and given away as land fill by some media folks who did not care.

Note Mikes distinctive hand movements.

[dianaholloway]

You know so much about the music at that time. Perhaps you could clear up confusion for me. Do you know if Mike Furber played at the easter show around the mid 60's? I remember seeing a band there and couldn't remember whether it was Normie Rowe, the Easybeats or Mike Furber.

[moorlock2003]

Wasn't this written by Graham Gouldman?

[aussiemusicheritage]

Yes , the song was written by Graham when he was in the Mockingbird's (pre Mindbenders).

Personally prefer Mike's version over the Mockingbird's effort.

[moorlock2003]

I vaguely recall hearing The Mockingbirds version on some LP with various artists on it. I, too, think this version by Mike Furber and The Bowery Boys is better. Do any videos show the group as well? They sound good. Maybe it was a similar situation as with Billy J. Kramer; The Dakotas were pushed into the background.

[aussiemusicheritage]

To my knowledge no vision of Mike with the Bowery Boys exist. The best hope would be Queensland TV stations.

[gatehouseguru]

Your right their manager Ivan Dayman, who also managed Normie Rowe wanted to push Mike as a solo and ruined their careers, The Bowery Boys actually wrote the first single "Just A Poor Boy which was also excellent.

[moorlock2003]

That seems a bit odd, as groups were all the rage. But managers have a way of messing things up.

[iamaussie]

Brought back memories. He was so sweet. I was at the "Bowl"

[msfyn]

Sadly departed well before time. Bitter sweet memories of "The Bowl". Thank you for sharing. Vale Mike.
