OldGit Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 [quote name='lonestar' post='110206' date='Dec 28 2007, 01:56 PM']Nights on broadway by Candi Statton (originally Bee Gees I think. not sure who played bass on it but it sounds very Crusaders'ish. Cheesy song but class playing.[/quote] Was that the first big UK hit with pull offs? 1977. I remember the impact that had... Everything by Altered Images, Johnny McElhone? All that "melody up the neck" stuff is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
