Rebel â June Dyer
Rebel â June Dyer âRebelâ appeared on Dyerâs debut album which was eponymously entitled and released in 1961. So it obviously sounds like something from the late 50âs early 60âs. And also it is a very short song, clocking in at 1 minute and 46 second. The song features a kind of waltz time beat, a simple bass line and drumming as well as a fine twangy guitar. The above ingredients slow danceâŠ

The Whip â Suck
The Whip â Suck Although they only made one album (âTime To Suckâ), Suck were probably one of the most accomplished heavy rock bands to grace our shores. And âThe Whipâ is a great example of this. From the opening moments you are assaulted by a roaring guitar and a barrage of drums. There is very little let up or breathing space in this thick typhoon of sound that emanates from yourâŠ

Kiss Me Kiss Your Baby â Geoff St John
Kiss Me Kiss Your Baby â Geoff St John In 1975, the Brotherhood of Man released a single called âKiss Me Kiss Your Babyâ. Before this, they had seen a number 10 hit with âUnited We Standâ, but their subsequent releases had seen mediocre success at best. âKiss Me Kiss Your Babyâ was one of those releases that did not make the UK charts, but it would be their last âflopâ before they hit the bigâŠ

Rock Me To Sleep â Michael Eagar
Rock Me To Sleep â Michael Eagar âRock Me To Sleepâ was Michael Eagarâs (later calling himself Mike Eager) first Springbok Top 20 hit, entering the charts on 6 August 1976. It would spend 8 weeks on the charts and peak at 13 during that time. He would see 2 further hits (1977âs âWhat Have I Doneâ and 1982âs âJust How Highâ), both of which would see better peaks and weeks figures, but this wasâŠ

Teddy Bear â The Spectres
Teddy Bear â The Spectres The Spectresâ âTeddy Bearâ has the distinction of being the last local song to make the South African singles charts (in the days when they produced vinyl singles). It would go on to spend 13 weeks and peak at 23 on what was then a top 30. It would also get to 17 on the 702 charts, number 2 on the Capital 604 ones (denied the top spot by Bobby McFerrinâs âDonât Worry BeâŠ

Born In A Storm â The Usual
Born In A Storm â The Usual âBorn In A Stormâ was the title track of The Usualâs only full album. They had released the 6 track EP called âSix Songs From The Insideâ in 1996 and a 7 track EP called âLike A Visionâ in 1997. âBorn In A Stormâ was released in 1999 and had 15 tracks.While not as immediate as âThe Shape That Iâm Inâ (the opening track on âSix Songs From The Insideâ and arguably theâŠ

I Wish I Was A Purple Door â Falling Mirror
The Storming Of The Loft â Falling Mirror Falling Mirror was first heard on vinyl in 1979 when they released the brilliant âZen Bouldersâ. The following year, they gave us âThe Storming Of The Loftâ, their second album, and on this album we come across the strangely entitled âI Wish I Was A Purple Doorâ. All this was before they came to mainstream attention in South Africa with âJohnny Calls TheâŠ

Seabird â Pendulum
Seabird â Pendulum In 1977 Pendulum followed up the success of 1976âs âTake My Heartâ with âSeabirdâ. While the former managed to get to number 6 on the Springbok Top 20, âSeabirdâ did not fly as high, only getting to number 18 during a 3 week run. And this is probably a fair reflection of the 2 songs as âSeabirdâ is not as anthemic as âTake My Heart. It is a more gentle track which kind ofâŠ

Bohemian Rhapsody â Ndlovu Youth Choir
Bohemian Rhapsody â Ndlovu Youth Choir Every wondered what the classic Queen track âBohemian Rhapsodyâ would have sounded like if Freddie Mercury had been born in Africa. Hang on, wait, Freddie Mercury was born in Africa. Zanzibar in Tanzania to be precise. Okay, so ever wondered what âBohemian Rhapsodyâ would have sounded like if Freddie Mercury had been born a Zulu? Well, wonder no more as theâŠ

Just How High â Mike Eager
Just How High â Mike Eager Before he became Mike Eager, he was Michael Eagar and he would have 2 hits on the Springbok charts, the first being âRock me To Sleepâ which made it to number 13, and then the following year he saw âWhat Have I Doneâ reach number 8. He would record 2 further singles, one as Michael Eagar and one as Mike Eager before 1982âs âJust How Highâ which would take him back intoâŠ

Love In A Time Of Visas â Buckfever Underground
Teaching Afrikaans As A Foreign Language â The Buckfever Underground Hereâs another one from those masters of the obscurely brilliant lyricists, Buckfever Underground. Even before you get to listening to the song, you are already intrigued by the title which is probably a play on the title of Gabriel Garcia Marquezâs novel âLove In A Time Of Choleraâ.âLove In A Time Of Visasâ is one of those inâŠ

Get Me Some Help â Neville Whitmill
Get Me Some Help â Neville Whitmill By the time Neville Whitmill was pleading for some help, he had already seen 2 Springbok Top 20 hits as part of The Square Set. Those were âSilence Is Goldenâ (not a cover of The Tremeloesâ hit of the same time and the same name) which made it to number 3 and then with âCarol Corinaâ which peaked at 15. âGet Me Some Helpâ was his first solo hit to make the topâŠ

Blue Eyes â Van Der Want & Letcher
Bignity â Van Der Want & Letcher Yes, this is a cover of the Springbok Nude Girls song. And yes, the original is one of those that you think could never be bettered. And yes, you are probably right. But with songs where one feels the original can never be bettered, every now and then a cover comes along a version which you go, wait, this is almost as good as the original. In my humble opinion,âŠ

King Of The West â Psycho Reptiles
Have Beans Will Travel â Psycho Reptiles The clip clop of a posse of horses coming into town. A Spanish styled guitar. A honky tonk guitar. Sounds like you should be in the wild west of America. But youâre not, youâre in the deep south of Africa. And there are no cowboys around, just some punkabilly punks going by the name of The Psycho Reptiles. And it is cooler than the Lone Ranger, has moreâŠ

Ek En Jy En Die Highway â Valiant Swart
Deur Die Donker Vallei â Valiant Swart Taken from his fantastic 1999 album, âDeur Die Donker Valleiâ, âEk En Jy En Die Highwayâ is as a relaxed road trip song that you would ever find. It sees Valiant in a melancholy mood as he cruises along âdie highwayâ. And when you examine the lyrics, you realise why he is feeling that way as they talk of a lost love with the first line being âJyât opgestaanâŠ

Red Guitar â Black Diamond
Street Level Bare Essentials â The Hits â Various Artists Black Diamond were the precursor to Semisane, a local band who were big in the early 2000âs. However, Black Diamond were not as successful. Not much is out there by them that I can tell, in fact I am only aware of the 2 tracks of theirs that appeared on the compilation CD âStreet Level Bare Essentials â The Hitsâ which brought togetherâŠ

Guinevere â McCully Workshop
 Ages â McCully Workshop After 1970âs âMcCully Workshop Incâ and 1971âs âGenesisâ, we had a bit of a wait before we heard from McCully Workshop again for it was 1975 before the aptly titled âAgesâ appeared. Now whether the McCullyâs et al were playing on the fact we had to wait ages for the album or not, I donât know. Still, for those waiting, the album did come and it was the worth wait as,âŠ
