It's amazing what you can find on the Internet. Here's a few videos of a now disbanded Boy Band called Boyzone. I think my fondness for this group is my affection for the songs they sing. They have had several original hits but have done covers of songs which while they are not on my all-time classics list are wonderful to hear again in a new interpretation.
I am embarassed to say that this next song has become one of my favorite pop ditties. It has a nice little beat and the harmonies are shy of rhapsodic.
Now here's the kicker. This song was originally performed by The Osmond Brothers. It was their first number one hit in the UK.
The next video is actually an all-time favorite of mine which I first heard at the Grange Fair in Yorktown Heights which was played by a band in which one of my high school classmates played guitar in. I was blown away by the song. Have I used that phrase before in this blog? Anyway, I think it was the whispery chorus that hooked me. Anyway, here's Boyzone with "Father and Son."
