STARS on 45 in Concert (1983) - Part 2 of 9

---------------------------------

Stars on 45 were a novelty pop act that was very popular in the UK, Europe and the U.S. in the early 1980s. The band, which consisted solely of studio session musicians, popularised the medley, by recreating hit songs as faithfully as possible and stringing them together, with a common tempo and relentless underlying drum track. The point was to provide a danceable disco record which used familiar tunes.

They are best known for their 1981 smash hit "Beatles' Medley", which topped the charts in every major international market, and their uncanny ability to sound like the legendary artists of pop music.
Their follow up albums included sound-alike medleys of artists such as Stevie Wonder, the Rolling Stones, Abba, other Motown artists, the classic '70's dance and many others.

Boy, this is fun! What a great Bobby Rydell and Connie Francis. Such an entertaining hour and a half.

I'll bet these folks slept good this night.
