KING - love & pride ( lost hit ) part of the Musical Royal Family

Hello and welcome back... First there was Queen, then came Prince, later came Princess... and then there was King, Love and pride King... You know "Paul King"
This single came out around 1984 and I must say, it was a very catchy tune, so much so..I went and brought the 12" single on vinyl when it was released.
This song made it to no 55 on the U.S music charts.
So in a nutshell that's the royal family...kind of.






KING -  LOVE AND PRIDE



PRINCESS - SAY I'M YOU NUMBER ONE



PRINCE - CONTROVERSY



QUEEN - THE INVISIBLE MAN



A musical royal family... Neat

MARIANNE FAITHFULL - the ballad of lucy jordan ( lost hit )

Hello and welcome back... Best know for her relationship with Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull has a voice like no other.
Its a blend of haunting but yet raucous, due to substance abuse and laryngitis.

 I think it gives her an edge otherwise it would sound just like every other ballad, its a unique gift.

Marianne also did a slather of movies in the 60s/ 70s including "The Girl on the Motorcycle" a personal favorite of mine, not the fact that she is naked under her leather outfit but its freedom at its best ( getting away from it all) while tripping on LSD... Sadly she does a tango with a truck and I don't think she came off too good in the end.

I love this song, so smooth, dreamy but raw at the same time.

A stunning song from a multi-talented artist.

Hello and welcome back... Sounding incredibly like Human League or even early Spandau Ballet, this song from Australian band "Rogue Traders" called Stay kicks with tasty beats of the 80s. Known for their love of 80s music, this band also brought out a remix of an Inxs song (Need you Tonight) called "One of my kind"... Love the funky lizard.

DEF FX

Hello and welcome back....Def Fx originally started in the late 80s but got their fame in the early 90s. Their music is described as late 80s electronica meets 90s grunge & heavy metal.
Members of the band include lead singer "Fiona Horne", "Blake Gardner" on guitars, "Sean Lowry" on synths-sequencers-samples,and Martyn Basha on bass.
Def Fx is an Australian band from Sydney N.S.W

Def Fx has released a slather of albums but my favourite would be "Majick", a mix of heavy acid type synths with pulsating electric guitars and driving beats... It even has a Didgeridoo (Aboriginal music instrument).
My song picks from this band would be " I'll be your Majick", "Headfuck", "Psychoactive Summer", "Space time Disco" and " Surfers of the Mind".

Lead singer "Fiona Horne" has been in the spotlight in recent years due to the fact she practices Witchcraft (Wiccan) and has written several books on Witchcraft and Magic.


This is one of my favourite bands mostly because they sound like no other band, and the mix of synths and guitar with driving beats is a sure winner.









I'LL BE YOUR MAJICK



HEADFUCK



PSYCHOACTIVE SUMMER



SPACE TIME DISCO



SURFERS OF THE MIND
