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.
