Tired Of Toein The Line / ROCKY BURNETTE

Rocky Burnette was part of the early 1980s revival of the rockabilly style. He released his first album, Son of Rock n Roll, on EMI America in 1979. In the summer of 1980, his single "Tired of Toein the Line" became a Top Ten hit in the United States. The song was also popular internationally. EMI Americas financial problems interfered with promotion efforts for the follow-up singles (several of which became hits in other countries), and Burnettes second album, Heart Stopper, was not successful.

Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon: Colour My World / CHICAGO

Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois.

They had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Second only to The Beach Boys in Billboard singles and albums chart success among American bands, Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups in history.

Kiss And Say Goodbye / THE MANHATTANS

A long running male vocal group from Jersey City, New Jersey, with roots in the doo-wop era. They first formed as the Manhattans, circa 1963, and hit the charts on Carnival Records in the mid 60s, maintaining chart popularity well into the the 1980s when their hit "Shining Star" topped the charts. THE MANHATTANS were originally: Winfred "Blue" Lovett, Richard Taylor, Kenny Kelley, George "Smitty" Smith and Sonny Bivins. The quintet reportedly took its name not from the big city across the water from New Jersey, but from the cocktail known as the Manhattan featuring whiskey, vermouth, and bitters. Still, the name suggested class, something the Manhattans have epitomized throughout their long career.

Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye / THE IRISH ROVERS

A popular and long-running Canadian-Irish folk group that saw their beginning in the 1960s, The Irish Rovers are particularly well-known for their hit recording of Shel Silversteins "The Unicorn," although a great many more of their characteristically happy and oft-comical songs remain well-known to this day. In 2010, the band celebrated 45 years as recording artists, with their latest CD, "Gracehill Fair" and filming the DVD/television special "Home in Ireland", shot entirely on-location, throughout the northwest coast of Ireland. George Millar says, “It’s basically The Irish Rovers ‘Coming Home’ because this is our home, for all of us. We want to show the world what the northwest Irish coast is like. I’ve traveled the world now for over 40 years and there’s nothing like it.

Vehicle / THE IDES OF MARCH

Chicagos Ides of March burst onto the national scene in 1970 with the million-selling single "Vehicle," a tune that bore more than a passing resemblance to the then mega-selling Blood, Sweat and Tears. But the bands pedigree went back further than BS and Ts, and with a much different origin. Formed in the mid-1960s in the Windy City, founding member Jim Peterik put the original Ides together as a teen band, strong on original material and British pop harmonies. Soon the band was recording for Londons Parrot Records subsidiary, releasing five singles between 1966 and 1967, including the local hit "You Wouldnt Listen." By the late 1960s, however, Peterik had reconfigured the band to include a full horn section, and a new sound and style for the band was born.

The Air That I Breathe / THE HOLLIES

The Hollies are a well-respected British beat and pop band that formed in the early 60s.

Their most famous member was Graham Nash, who left in 1968 to form the folk supergroup Crosby, Stills and Nash. Two of the core members, drummer Bobby Elliott and lead guitarist Tony Hicks, still perform with The Hollies into the new millennium.

These Eyes / THE GUESS WHO

The Guess Who is a rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba that was one of the first Canadian groups to establish a major successful following both in their own country as well as abroad. In their late 60s and early 70s heyday, the guys took influence from late period British invasion bands as well as stuck alongside them on the charts. They were notably the first Canadian rock n roll group to have a #1 hit in the United States thanks to the success of 1970s "American Woman". The band evolved out of "Chad Allan and the Expressions" (often shortened to The Expressions), which was a pop rock group with a British Invasion feel fronted by Chad Allan and featuring guitarist Randy Bachman. Both of them had great potential as singer-songwriters.
