Middle of the Road featuring Sally Carr
Who hasn't heard about Middle Of The Road?
The central figure of this Scottish band of course is blonde female singer and front-woman; Sally Carr, MOTR's original voice since the early '70's. It seems as if time hasn't had any effect on Sally, her performance still has that wonderful, soft but strong voice which keeps attracting people to their many gigs and festivals.
In 1970 the band was founded; they had a little success here and there, which didn't last long though. Due to financial reasons they had to stay in Italy, where they were then and couldn't go back to England for a while... simply because there was no money to pay the trip.
Then, after an Englishman in Roma wrote them a catchy song, they got the credits they deserved. The song raced to the top of the charts all over the world. This song was Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. Soon then they got in touch with a RCA-Director and so began their fairy-tail like career.....MOTR became also the backing band for many artists. One of them was Sophia Loren for the film The Priest's Wife, where they appeared together with Sophia on a single for the soundtrack of that Movie..
With 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep' they got a number 1 hit in 1971, which was followed up by 7 more top ten singles.
As said, Sally Carr's Middle Of The Road are still a major attraction, a band you have to see and hear even today. The band is tight and loves to be on stage. At many oldie festivals and other music events you can enjoy Sally's timeless voice, sounding exactly as she was in the '70s. Sing along with "Soley Soley", "Samson and Delilah", "Sacramento", "Bottoms Up" and many many more...
Their Future is still as bright as it always was.
