Scott English (born Sheldon David English, January 10, 1943) is an Americansongwriter and record producer. He is best known as the co-writer of "Brandy" with Richard Kerr. This song became a #1 hit for Barry Manilow in 1974 under the revised title of "Mandy". English had also released a single of "Brandy", which reached #12 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1971 and entered the UScharts in March 1972.
In 1960, he released his first single, "4,000 Miles Away," on Dot Records. In 1964, English had a regional doo-wop hit called "High on a Hill", written by Frank Cariola and A. Mangravito. "High on a Hill" has consistently been voted an all-time top song on oldies radio stations in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. It also reached #3 in popularity on the San Francisco Bay Area radio charts.
Bubblegum pop (also known as bubblegum rock, bubblegum music, or simply bubblegum) is a genre of pop music with an upbeat sound contrived and marketed to appeal to pre-teens and teenagers, that may be produced in an assembly-line process, driven by producers and often using unknown singers. Bubblegum's classic period ran from 1967 to 1972. A second wave of bubblegum started two years later and ran until 1977 when disco took over and punk rock emerged.
The genre was predominantly a singles phenomenon rather than an album-oriented one. Also, because many acts were manufactured in the studio using session musicians, a large number of bubblegum songs were by one-hit wonders. Among the best-known acts of bubblegum's golden era are 1910 Fruitgum Company, The Ohio Express and The Archies, an animated group which had the most successful bubblegum song with "Sugar, Sugar", Billboard Magazine's No. 1 single for 1969. Singer Tommy Roe, arguably, had the most bubblegum hits of any artist during this period, notably 1969's "Dizzy".
Perth pop group The Valentines was, for a brief period, one of the most popular bands in the country. Although they started out a energetic soul/R&B band, their best known image was associated with the so-called "bubblegum pop" phenomenon of 1968-70. But there was a wild side to the band which was evident in their live performances (and their off-stage carousing). These days, of course, they're best known by reference to the fact that one of the singers ended up in a little band called AC/DC - although the enormous interest in them has resulted in many previously unreleased tracks becoming available in recent years.
The Valentines formed in Perth in mid-1966, bringing together members of three leading local beat groups: Scott and Milson were from The Spektors, Lovegrove, Ward and Cooks...

THE SWEET - FUNNY FUNNY: 1971 (with words)
Catchy tune that - can't seem to get it out of my head!!
All hail Chinn and Chapman the masters of the pop song, I've added the words so you can sing along.(Hope I haven't spoilt it for you).
Anyone who loves Sweet, will know, that THIS was not their idea of making music, but it got them noticed - pre Ballroom Blitz and Blockbuster, but along with CO-CO, a tune that'll be in your head for days to come.
Sweet were very bad boys!! At the time of their heyday, I was only very young - but Steve Priest had quite an alarming effect on me even then !!
(I urge you to buy his book from http://www.thesweet.com/page11.html and have an insight into what they got up to).
Incidentally, I prefer their harder rock type songs, "love is like oxygen" is pure genius, (Andy Scott's masterpiece).

The Valentines formed in Perth in mid-1966, bringing together members of three leading local beat groups: Scott and Milson were from The Spektors, Lovegrove, Ward and Cooksey from The Winztons, and Findlay from top WA band Ray Hoff & The Off Beats. Playing a mixture of soul, R&B and mod covers, by the start of 1967 they were already Perth's top group. A major drawcard was the double-vocal attack of dynamic frontmen Bon Scott and Vince Lovegrove, and within a few weeks of their live debut they were packing in crowds

A lot of their songs have been covered by later bands, and I'll bet some of you out there think Def Leppard were responsible for "Action". . . NOPE!
And you can definitely hear the songs of Queen echoing the strains of Sweet's later self penned hits. Brian May's wizard fingers often sound a lot like Andy Scott's playing - wouldn't you agree?
I found it hard to find pictures of Brian Connolly where he didn't look so sad all the time, but if you read Steve's book it may give you a hint why.
Pictures of the great Mick Tucker are also thin on the ground.
'Funny Funny' A side single 1971 (RCA)
'You're not wrong for lovin' me' B side
Incidentally, I sang this song so often at work recently, that loads of twenty somethings, who'd never heard of Sweet, are now singing it too - ROCK ON!!
Enjoy - SWEET - a VERY under-rated band!
And sooooooo before their time with their own music.
