Glitz, Blitz and Hits

That last post has literally forced me to put on my 'Very Best of Sweet' DVD (a birthday present from a ha'peth last year) with the sub-title of 'Glitz, Blitz and Hits'. So tasteful as always. So sad that two of 'em are no longer with us and one lives in America, leaving only Andy Scott to fly the flag over here.

Brian Connelly had a great voice, very versatile - from the soulful version of the Supremes 'Reflections' from the first album to the hard rock of the later albums. He could do it all and he looked the part too. I remember seeing him being interviewed on a Channl 4 programme about '70s music a few years ago and he was so damaged by booze n drugs that he could hardly talk. So sad.

They did some great songs and I still think 'Ballroom Blitz' is one of the greatest tracks ever! Signing off now to enjoy the DVD!
