Guest CliftonHall1 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 In a new Pub enjoying a Pint nattering to her in doors when low and behold mixed into the piped background music came out the Valentines "Breakaway". Mixed in between other MOR fodder Abba, George Benson etc i thought this was the programmer digging a bit too deep! Ok Jackie Wilson, Erma Franklin but Valentines? a wonderful tune in its own right, but certainly obscure!! Set me thinking of other instances i could recall of Obscure Northern in places where you wouldnt least expect. So here's two more to get you started. Valentino's "Sweeter than the day before" in a "Shells" Brandenton, Florida. (OK a minor USA hit in the 60's but.....) Terry Callier "Look at me Now" on a Cruise ship in Bahamas.
