ELO - Strange Magic

Wish we had a like button !

Your wish is my command
I've also changed the link to one which hopefully works

Many people have heard his music but couldn't tell you who played it. Many years ago my alarm clock was tuned into a radio station that played this song every morning before they aired a syndicated radio show. I liked the music but had no idea who it was but a few years ago I saw the guy playing it on TV or a video.

Released in 1996 Junior Brown - Surf Medley


Here's the back story about him...

As soon as I started listening i thought Plup Fiction !

How about some old school rockabilly surf! I had never heard of these guys but ran across them on youtube. The guys on the guitars kill it. I love it. From 1962...

Little Remy & The Flying Rockers - Shadoogie

I think this is just the Flying Rockers. Little Remy seems to be a 50s era Bobby Rydell wannabe.

EDIT: They're Dutch!

I heard this song on XM today and it took me back to simpler days in the early 70s listing to music on an AM radio.

From 1970, Brian Hyland - Gypsy Woman


When I saw the artist's name I was surprised to realize that is same person who had the 1960 bubblegum pop hit "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini"
