I just saw these guys last night at the Tent at the Cocordia Club in Kitchener. Wow they were great!! I almost forgot about them. Only disappointment was that they didn't have any cd's for sale. Boo Hoo.:( They are a rare gem to the music industry.

Way to go for still touring.

I ran a booking agency called Image Artists' Representatives back in the late 60's and early 70's and I had the privilege of booking Major Hoople's Boarding House on several occasions. I was also honoured to be considered a friend. I have recently been in e-mail contact with Gail Selkirk. The lead vocal here is by an incredible singer, Rocky Howell and the song was written by the late David Lodge, who was the bass player. How this song was not a huge hit I have no idea. Great memories here.

@1rickjon Hi! This was a hit on CHUM, CHFI and CFTR in Toronto in 1982... that's how I knew of the song! Too bad so many Canadian acts didn't crack the US market - I can't help but think of so many (Carole Pope, Stampeders) that could have been huge hits there...

Good day,

Someday hope to find a copy of Hooples album..

This and other hits by them on

98.5 CKWR playlist.

I think they sound great, (as well as Denim/James Leroy)

Thanks for adding all the info eh!!

I remember seeing all the posters for their concerts in 1980's but was too young to go!
