In Australia Daryl Braithwaite is an icon. Initially known as the lead singer of the most successful Aussie pop band of the '70's (Sherbet), however to younger generations it's his work as a solo act that brings him fame. Daryl reflects on a long career, reveals which of his hits are among his favourites and has the story behind his recording of "The Horses".
Here's a man who written about everything from bus stops to dreadlock holidays! 10CC's Graham Gouldman is known for his work songwriting and producing with the other members of 10CC but also wrote hits with his father in the 60's. Possibly the most impressive song he has been involved with is "I'm Not In Love" and the tale behind that recording is fascinating.
Remember the Kingston Trio? That group gave this singer his first taste of fame. The late John Stewart also wrote one of the best loved hits of The Monkees. In the 70's he charted with his song "Gold", but possibly his most moving story is how his records were burnt in protest when a line he wrote in 1969 was taken the wrong way.
Few 1970's bands had as many screaming fans as the Bay City Rollers. You would think that the band members made a fortune but, as lead singer Les McKeown explains, the truth was that they saw very little. Les tells how the band was ripped off, how eager the fans were and stories behind hits like "Give A Little Love" and "Money Honey".
