Rock Follies

Those of you of a certain age will, no doubt, remember the 'Rock Follies' telly series in 1976 and 1977 with Julie Covington, Charlotte Cornwall and Rula Lenska as The Little Ladies band. Songs were written by Howard Schuman and Andy Mackay (of Roxy Music). The first series was done on the cheap until it really took off and production values improved in the last few shows. Then 'Rock Follies of 77' emerged, a lot slicker but still studio-bound. It was a great series and such a shame it all got bogged down later in legal wrangling. I bought the albums at the time and now, of course, the CDs.

Look what I found on YouTube - bring back memories, anyone?
