Sally Carr's group, with million sellers like 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep', 'Tweedle Dee, Tweddle Dum', 'Soley Soley' and 'Sacramento'. The voice of Sally had that 'something' you cannot forget after all these years. Still when I hear those hits I feel the rhythm and the energy that made them so popular in the early 70's. Hear them again in a nice 'best of' CD.
Middle of the Road are a Scottish pop group who enjoyed success across Europe and Latin America in the early 1970s. Three of their singles sold over one million copies each, and received a gold disc. The tracks were "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" (which went on to sell over 10 million), "Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum" and "Soley Soley". By early 1972 alone the group had sold over five million records.As of 2010, Middle of The Road is enjoying a mild resurgence of popularity due to their excellent videos from 1971-72 on YouTube. Lead singer Sally Carr, drummer Ken Andrew, guitarist Ian McCredie and his bassist brother Eric McCredie, founded the band on 1 April 1970. They already played together under the name Part Four since 1967 and later in Latin American style under the name Los Caracas. They moved to Italy in 1970 because they had not found success in the United Kingdom. There they met the Italian music producer Giacomo Tosti, who gave the band their distinctive sound and gave them their international break. The band had their first and biggest hit record in the United Kingdom with debut UK single, "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" to reach #1 in the UK Singles Chart in June 1971 and keep it for four more weeks. In all, Middle Of The Road had five hit singles in the UK during 1971-1972. The band had enduring success only in Germany, where they achieved eleven Top 40 hits in 1971-1974. In 1974 early Bay City Rollers member Neil Henderson joined the band on guitar. He wrote and co-wrote songs for Middle Of The Road (including the singles "Rockin' Soul" and "Everybody Loves A Winner" and 1974 albums, You Pays Yer Money And You Takes Yer Chance and Postcard, all released in Germany via Ariola like their first German LP, Music Music), but their commercial success could not keep pace with the earlier songs.TRACKLIST
