Solid boogie tune from Stretch, the band that got off to an infamous start as the "fake Fleetwood Mac".<br><br>
<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_(band)'>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_(band)</a><br><br></p><p></p><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">The band was put together in 1974 with help from Fleetwood Mac manager Clifford Davis and drummer Mick Fleetwood, to perform as Fleetwood Mac on a US tour because the existing Fleetwood Mac were not in a position to fulfil outstanding contractual obligations. However, Fleetwood did not join the tour as planned, and later denied any knowledge or involvement, and partway through the tour it became obvious to audiences that there was no original member of Fleetwood Mac in the band, and the tour collapsed. Bass player Paul Martinez claimed, "Mick Fleetwood pulled out at the last minute claiming not to know who we were!"[2]<br><br>
Stretch rose from the ashes of this debacle, and soon had a No. 16 hit single in November 1975 with "Why Did You Do It?",[3] the lyric of which was a direct attack on Mick Fleetwood for his failure to join the band on the ill-fated Fleetwood Mac tour.[4]</blockquote> -

The Fleetwood Mac story is so weird you think it was too farfetched if they made it into a film. The Stretch thing rose out of the band cancelling their US tour after Mick F discovered that their then guitarist Bob Weston was having an affair with his wife Jenny Fleetwood, who was sister of Pattie Boyd (aka Layla). The manager, Clifford Davis, was on the hook for the losses so tried to form a band who would tour.<br><br>
Their guitarist dramas are simply insane. -

<div>I don't think that there's anything better than an 80's music video with dorky british session musicians playing a prominent role. Especially if a ridiculously long bass guitar is involved.<br>

I'm not sure anything could have met your expectations once you'd got Murray Head in your er, head. -

<p>Love this tune, early Faith No More with Chuck Moseley, would have loved to have heard Mike Patton ( a MUCH better singer even though Mosely was cool ) have a crack at this little number. Insanely catchy Bassline from the underrated Bill Gould and some nice shredding from Jim Martin who tended to take a bit of a back seat to this sort of stuff later on......</p>

<p>I mentioned Mike Patton in my previous post as being an outstanding singer but this bloke may have had an even more impressive set of pipes. The bit at the end where he brings it all home is particularly spine tingling, another rock star gone too soon.</p>
