enjoyed success at the same time...Frankly I don't mind a great deal ...They are both brilliant and the Dennis Potter were based on sounds of this period they don't claim to be originators in any way so I am just going to enjoy their beautiful sounds...smiles...Anyway who really cares....History is History can't be changed anything important would have been established and the rightful artist would have recognition by now.
WOW!!!!!!!......What a sound....It is so brilliant....First time I have heard it.......It does sound like something else though....Who has influenced who?.....Not sure what that other sound is though I will remember it though in a couple of days I am sure!!!....But this is FANTASTIC!!!!
Another little known fact: The lead guitarist was a very young George Benson...
