Chicory Tip - Son Of My Father (TOTP 1972)_HQ

[MACHAWK123]

One of the better mimed songs on TOTP - drummer is as limp as a limp thing can be in this video.

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

The synth hooks are SOOOOO ahead of their time and PERFECT, we have gone backwards in music. Look what was happening in 1972 and now we have CRAP and more CRAP!

[TheRealColey]

OOoh Balotelli, he's Italian he's a striker and he's good at darts

.....Or runaway by Del Shannon in 1961........

[mickthemerciless]

Try Telstar by the tornados in 1962 if you want the earliest example of a synthesizer.......

[rockerbox1973]

@mickthemerciless moody blues anyone?

[bayerischman]

The bass player later went on to run a pub in Maidstone during the early 1980's. He told me that his father had lent the band the money to buy their instruments.

Think you find The Who were the first to pioneer the Synthesisers in Baba O reilly and Won't get fooled again 1971

[Feisty1967]

This song is very ground-breaking cos it features the World's first synthesizer, pioneered by Georgio Moroder who also produced Donna Summer's I Feel Love and Electric Dreams with Phil Oakey.

@Feisty1967 WTF ...the synth was used well before this piece of shit ("son of my father??? who elses son would he be???) .i've read it was first used on a Monkees song .."Daily nightly". circa .1967 and had probably been used well before that in electronic music,,,in fact primitive synth like instruments were used in the 1920's,,

[happychappy12]

[Stevekungfu]

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

@Stevekungfu

INDEED, so ahead of it's time!

[fifthof]

Tenerifelynn, please listen the song "Double Je" by Christophe Willem. It's in french, but you'll notice some singers are able to make good music, even nowadays. I'm sur you will enjoy listening this nice song.

Sorry for my bad english.

[Tenerifelynn]

Remember going to see this band many years ago! They dont make music like this now. Where have all those good old days gone!

[cemonhavy]

C'est vrai que l'intro est jouée avec des élastiques?

[stevedr]

anyone got the b side Pride comes before a fall?

Great post

[thestevo46]
