Cool Clean Air - The Shadows

[Mark Daniels]

[George Geddes]

Strictly speaking it's the Shadows, with one of their 'Song for Europe' entries...

Is that a capo on Hank's Strat?

Is that a capo on Hank's Strat?

it must have been. it was way before the youtube hair bobble thing started.

[Monty]

reminds me of just how much STRONGER The Shads were when John Farrar was in the band...bringing the best out of Hank and Bruce too

we really do need a proper 'official' DVD of all The Shadows line ups in chronological order performing classic tracks, instrumentals and vocals, over the years from whatever surviving footage can be assembled !

They sang 6 songs that the "Public" had to vote on - EVERYONE was a potential winner IMO -
No No Nina, This House Runs On Sunshine, Don’t Throw It All Away, Cool Clear Air, Stand Up Like A Man and Let Me Be The One.
Class music like that isnt written any more for the Eurovision.

[Iain Purdon]

My vote was for No, No, Nina but Let Me Be The One was very good and had that Eurovision oom-pah effect that was still thought to play well in Europe at the time.

[rogera]

As to your question Steve -- yes, that is a capo.

[drakula63]

Let Me be The One was the best in terms of being a 'Eurovision Song'. However, I think that a couple of the others really should have been released as singles, as I think they'd have been hits. Cool Clear Air, in its Eagles-ish vein, could have been one of them.

(Don't Throw It All Away and Stand Up Like a Man definitely amongst the others...)
