The Blockheads featured Chaz Jankel who became successful as a solo-artist

But some of the tracks brought by the late Ian Dury were very groovy!

We always played them. They were a nice break from disco and were very popular in Germany. And you can add Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll.

I was surprised to see that Claudja Barry did a version of Wake Up And Make Love With Me.


VS, you are a truly a keeper of the flame. And I mean that in a good way.8-)

I just love Reasons To Be Cheerful Part III. It was quite the song BITD especially with my friends from NYC. It still works as agreat song!
I also remember Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll. I used to date this little Irish rocker who I was converting to disco :-D

What was his name?:lol:

I actually love Ian Dury's stuff mainly because of the Chas Jankel influence. I recently bought Ian's 'Do It Yourself' LP and some of the tracks have an almost jazz-funk sound, not as rock-sounding as I'd imagined.:-o
