Other artists included pioneering New York punk band Wayne County & The Electric Chairs, Mod Revival acts The Teenbeats, The Same and Purple Hearts, UK punks The Boys and Genocide, ex-Deep Purple vocalist Glenn Hughes, female duo The Chanters Sisters, and reggae artists Weapon Of Peace, The Cimarons and George Dekker.

FOXY FRIENDS

Noosha Fox and friends injected some sophisticated glamour into the UK charts of the mid-1970s. Fox‘s ‘Only You Can’ peaked at No. 3 while ‘S-S-S Single Bed‘ peaked one place lower. ‘If I Point At The Moon’, taken from their 1975 self-titled album, is a lilting, sublime pop ditty that sounds remarkably timeless. The song is featured in the US drama mini-series A Friend Of The Family, which aired recently on the Peacock network.
