I'm not surprised this is going slow. This group had just a few hits in the UK and was a one hit wonder in the United States and you took that hit Robert. I like that song very much by the way. I don't know how Eman knows those other songs, but he seems to have a very wide taste and knowledge of music!

Paul, actually Marmalade had another 2 US hits, the one I listed called Falling Apart At The Seams in 1976. Their hit Lovin' Things which Mike listed was recorded verbatim with minor lyric changes by the American group The Grass Roots in 1969 and they had a monster hit with it. So I will list

10. Talking In Your Sleep again from 1976.

Here in the US Crystal Gayle had a pop and country smash with the song!

"Talking in your sleep" was a big hit for Cystal Gayle over here too.

Sorry, I do not know any Marmalade songs.

Marian of course you do, you know Ob-La-Di?

Paul just because Marmalade did not have a lot of hits do not dismiss them, I have all theh cd's they have released and they are a great group/

Yes Eamon knows a lot about music, he's a force to be reckoned with, he amazes me too!
