    What ever happened to them? This is a great song. I wonder why they didn't have more POPULAR hits. I'm sure they had other hits, I just don't know of any other song by them except this one. He has a killer voice too.

    'Busting Loose' and 'Winner' were minor hits on the Aussie charts. They were also on the Footloose soundtrack and I believe some other US films used their music. Aside from that, they are a one hit wonder. No other

    Bit of history with the music clip. I lived directly across the road where this was filmed. It was in the suburb of Coburg (Melbourne) on the corner of Sheffield and Chambers St. The shop was demolished some time after and is now a house. If you look closely when Alex Smith is next to the wooden pole there is the words WOG written. That was engraved by the owner of the shop's son Con who was greek.

    Is it just me or does the intro sound very similar to Hall & Oates' "Did It In A Minute"?

    They had 3 albums and a best of.

    ..Ish

    1927

    Other Side

    The Very Best Of was pretty much a reissue of ish with a few songs off the two albums. The Other Side has some great songs on it though. Worth grabbing if you can find it.

    And he's still touring. Saw him late last year. Still a very good guitarist and singer.
