  • Okay, does anyone remember a group from around the same time (1984-85) with a female lead singer called The Champions? They had one song I remember called Eye to Eye. It featured on Sounds with Donnie Sutherland. Never saw them afterwards.

  • @Writeowl I still have that single, nice aussie reggae tune that!

  • @WillisJaxon It was a VERY good tune. :-) Anyway you could convert it and upload?

  • @Writeowl Yeah, will try...

  • Awesome. Thanks for that.

    I remember being at those BlueBeat AllStars gigs.

    In fact, our band (Off The Shelf - mentioned by Bruce) supported them on occasions but not sure of that night.
