Fine song, performed by a group of fine looking people. At the time "There's A Whole Lot of Lovin' " was in the charts [March/April of 1975], it seemed that Guys & Dolls were destined for a long and successful career in the pop/rock industry. However, that wasn't to be; the group only had one other significant hit, after the spring of '75.
Incidentally, I noticed David Van Day and Theresa Bazaar in that vintage footage from the Christmas edition of TOTP from '75. They both looked so young !
@TheEctomorph YES, IT IS A GREAT SONG, BUT THEY DID NOT SING ON THE ORIGINAL SONG, IT WAS RECORDED BY TONY BURROWS, CLAIRE TORREY, KAY GARNER. RUSSELL STONE. SUNNY LESLIE AND SUE GLOVER, SORRY TO DISAPPOINT BUT IT IS FACT. X
@michellesvideosuk That is an interesting - and indeed surprising - piece of information.
Of the six people that you mention, I have only heard of one: MR TONY BURROWS. He was a well-known "session" singer for a number of years, from the late 1960's until the mid/late 70's. Mr Burrows sang lead on Edison Lighthouse's huge number 1 hit from January/February 1970: "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes." He also sang lead a track called "My Baby Loves Lovin' - which was a Top 10 hit
@michellesvideosuk [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about Mr Tony Burrows]
for White Plains in the summer of that year. Unless I am very much mistaken, Mr Burrows also sang on a Top 10 hit from 1974, called "Beach Baby". The track that I am referring to - by a studio group called First Class - was very reminiscent of The Beach Boys in style.
@flaxonx3 You seem to be implying that 'eighties' men were somehow superior to 'seventies' men. If so, I think that, that is a VERY moot and contentious point !!
@cobaltmale "The guys' trousers aren't very modest."
Well, certainly his trousers were very flared - outrageously so, by the standards of today [2011]. But wth ... this footage was recorded in the mid-1970s. Back in those days, nearly all self-respecting teenage hard-nuts (and 'with it' young men in their 20's) wore flared trousers, kipper ties, stack-heeled shoes, etc. It was the glam rock era.
The old adage: "The past is a different country; they do things differently there"
Unbelievably thats David Van Day and Tereza Bazar looking very young....on the left of picture. Two yrs after this they became Dollar. So U were right.
@uksfinest63 Did you not recognize Mr Van Day and Ms Bazaar (of Dollar) in that vintage 'Top Of The Pops' footage from December 1975? I believe that they were 16 or 17-year-old kids at the time. Three years later - in December '78 - they had their first hit as "Dollar"; it was entitled "Shooting Star" (if my memory serves me correctly).
This was a pretty good tune - I'm surprised no recent pop svengali has suggested their new boy or girl group covers it.

@TheEctomorph I can't remember making such a cringeworthy comment, thanks for reminding me so I could delete it. I must have been having a laugh.

@cobaltmale [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about fashion/clothes in the 1970s].
springs to mind. (I believe that it was a gentleman by the name of L.P. Hartley who originally coined that adage.)
