The Temperance Seven - You're Driving Me Crazy

"You're Driving Me Crazy" / "Charley My Boy" (1961: 7" Parlophone R4757)

I remember this being played a lot on TV and the Wireless around the time when Kruschev and Kennedy were arguing about nuclear armed rockets.

The Temperance Seven - Vocal refrain by Mr. Paul McDowell.
The three founder members were Paul McDowell who originally played trombone, Philip Harrison (originally played banjo) and Brian Innes.
The trams video was shot in 1985 at Crich, Derbyshire.

When the Temperance Severn appeared at the Savoy Hotel, at the height of their fame, in the 1960's. Paul McDowell said: Ladies and Gentlemen it is wonderful to be back here after an absence of 40 years. And it was true. They had a wonderful success with recreating dance orchestra music from the 1920's and, most remarkably, appealing to a young audience who had never heard this stuff before. "Your Driving Me Crazy" was their first, sentational, No 1 hit record.

Chrich is great but I think

This was my Mum's fave song, every time I hear it I think of her and have a bit of a cry. It is a classic
