    That organ riff is sublime and belongs in a better song.
    The lyrics are hideous!

    They had an absolutely fantastic drummer called Trevor Morais one of the best in demand session musicians around for many a year.

    Was gonna say I thought the vocals let it down, but also got to say I've discovered some pretty good music while going through Dutch prog rock of the early '70, last night

    I recognised the track when I went on this thread last night. It's on this CD and is the only track I skip , it's awful.

    The Cardigan King has nailed this one I'm afraid ... that is abysmal!

    What an anti-climax.

    This riddle might have been solved sooner of you'd mentioned Chris Eubank was the lead singer.

    What the Dickens is it doing on a soul album?

    If you like this LennyL, you'd might also like Ekseption, Earth & Fire, Supersister and Alquin... all from same period.

    Thanks mate. 
    I like them all, I think the Peddlers are a bit different though. I posted some of their music on the listening thread. Lead singer has a bit of Clayton Thomas (blood Sweat &Tears)voice but very cheeky and risky.

    Shocking tune, but the intro is ok. I have to say I'm a little disappointed with the quality of this song given the length of your search. However, given the success of this thread in finding the track, I wonder if anyone could help me identify the girl of my dreams. She was on tv in the early eighties and even starred in a Mel Brookes film. A larger than life character, she used to dress up in a Wonder Woman outfit and hung about with a bloke called Russ.
