Samuel’s Musicians Of The Week
September 30th, 2007 at 05:50pm
During the week where I was still deciding whether or not to stand for parliament, Michael from the 2CC production department put together a rather amusing audio piece containing snippets of my original discussion with Mike Welsh on the issue, and two songs. The artists behind the first song get the musicians of the week award this week, and you’ll find out about the second song next week.
So, the musicians of the week award this week goes to T-Rex, and the feature song is Telegram Sam.
Oooh, oh man, oooh

Then girlfriend, singer Gloria Jones (they have a son) recorded Tainted Love in 1964, almost two decades before Soft Cell had the hit in the early 80’s.

Hot Love is my favourite t-rex song.
