| Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen |
 |
(1982) Dexy's Midnight Runners are a British New
Wave and Northern Soul band who achieved their
major success in the early-mid 1980s. Kevin
Rowland (vocals, guitar) and Kevin 'Al' Archer
(vocals, guitar) founded the band in 1978 in
Birmingham, England, naming the band after
Dexedrine, a recreational drug popular amongst
Northern Soul fans at the time. Big Jim Paterson
(trombone), Geoff 'JB' Blythe (saxophone), Steve
'Babyface' Spooner (alto saxophone), Pete Saunders
(keyboard), Pete Williams (bass) and Bobby 'Jnr'
Ward(drums) formed the first line-up of the band
to record a single, 'Dance Stance' (1979). The
song only reached number 40 in the British charts,
but the next single, 'Geno' -- about Geno
Washington -- (featuring new recruits, Andy Leek
(keyboards) and Andy 'Stoker' Growcott (drums))
was a British Number One in 1980.
The band members were disappointed with their
share of the profits, and soon stole the master
tapes of Searching for the Young Soul Rebels,
their debut LP, in order to renegotiate the deal.
The album was released later in 1980 and became a
massive success. After the next single, 'There
There My Dear' was a hit, Rowland insisted on
choosing the uncommercial, 'Keep It, Part Two' for
the following single. It was a failure, and most
of the band members quit, angered over continual
personality problems with Rowland. Archer
eventually formed The Blue Ox Babes, while Blythe,
Williams, Stoker and Mick Talbot (ex-Merton
Parkas, who had recently joined on keyboards) left
to form The Bureau. Paterson stayed with Rowland,
who added Billy Adams (guitar/banjo), Seb Shelton
(drums, formerly of Secret Affair), Micky
Billingham (keyboard), Brian Maurice (alto
saxophone), Paul Speare (tenor saxophone) and
Steve Wynne (bass), releasing 'Plan B', 'Show Me'
and 'Liars A to E' in 1981 without much success.
Rowland then recruited fiddle players, Helen
O'Hara (from Archer's new group, the Blue Ox
Babes), Steve Brennan and Roger MacDuff, known
collectively as 'The Emerald Express'. With the
addition of new bass player, Giorgio Kilkenny this
line-up recorded Too-Rye-Ay in 1982, a Celtic folk
and soul hybrid. The first single, 'The Celtic
Soul Brothers', was mildly successful but 'Come on
Eileen' soon followed, and became a Number One hit
in both the UK and the United States. Feeling that
their role in the group had diminished following
the arrival of the fiddles, the brass section of
Paterson, Speare and Maurice left to form The TKO
Horns, while Kilkenny was replaced by Johnny
Edwards on bass and Billingham left to join
General Public. With the singles, 'Jackie Wilson
Said (I'm In Heaven When You Smile)' (a Van
Morrison cover) and 'Let's Get This Straight (From
The Start)' maintaining their popularity, the
group continued to tour until 1983 with a nucleus
of Rowland, Adams, O'Hara and Shelton augmented by
other musicians.
After a two year break, Dexy's returned in 1985
with the critically-acclaimed album, Don't Stand
Me Down, featuring Rowland, Adams, O'Hara and
Nicky Gatfield together with various seasoned
performers including Vincent Crane (ex-Atomic
Rooster), Julian Littman and Tim Dancy (who had
been Al Green's drummer). Rowland at first refused
to issue any singles from the album, and by the
time 'This Is What She's Like' was released, it
was too late to save the album from commercial
failure. The group disbanded the following year
after a brief return to the charts with the
single, 'Because Of You' (which was used as the
theme tune to a British sitcom, 'Brush Strokes'),
and Rowland became a solo artist with the release
of 1988's poorly-received album, The Wanderer.
Despite spending much of the 1990s suffering from
financial problems and drug addiction, Rowland
made plans to reform Dexy's together with Big Jim
Paterson, although these resulted in no more than
a solitary TV performance in 1993. Returning once
more as a solo performer, Rowland signed to
Creation Records, releasing an album of cover
versions called My Beauty in 1999, which sold
poorly. The demise of Creation meant that the
planned follow-up album which would, once again
have featured Dexy's Midnight Runners was never
made. However, in April 2003 the group announced
that they would be reforming for a tour and a new
greatest hits album.

| Dexy's Midnight Runners-There There My Dear |
 |
This is a video of Dexy's Midnight Runers
performing There There My Dear a track that can be
found on the Searching For The Young Soul Rebels
album, which I would like to add is te-times
better than their more famous Too Rye Aye album.
Not sure about Kevin's striding dance move at seen
throughout the film - but then he is an oddball.
Brilliant band though and another from the
Midlands area of the UK which came to everybody's
notice towards the end of the seventies along with
the Specials, Selector The Beat and so on. I hope
you enjoy this: Geno is to be added shortly...

Poor old Johnny Ray sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried,
And sang along who'd blame them?
You've grown, (your grown up) So grown(so grown
up)
Now I must say more than ever
(Come on Eileen) Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye Aye
And we can sing just like our fathers
Come on Eileen , I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, oh my thoughts i confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen
These people round here, wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces, so resigned to what
their fate is
But not us, (no never) no not us (no never),
we are far too young and clever
(Remember) Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
Eileen , I'll hum this tune forever
Come on Eileen, I swear, (well he means)
Ah come on let's, take off everything (everything)
Pretty red dress Eileen(Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
(Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye
Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye)
Now you are grown, now you have shown, oh, Eileen
Said Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye (repeat in
background)
(You've grown
So grown) Show, how you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things 'round here have changed
I said too-ra-loo-ra-too-ra-loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen, I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts (I confess)
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen
Come on Eileen, I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
(in that dress), whoa, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on Eileen

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never), no not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever

| Mick Bolton - Rock And Roll Widow |
 |
http://www.mickbolton.com
Written in 1993. Recorded at the Glass Eye
songwriters' weekend at Smugglers in Hastings, UK
on May 16th 2008
Johnny B Goode said to Runaround Sue
Tell me pretty baby why can't you be true
I've been all around the world playing with my
band
While you're back there doing one night stands
She said Johnny since you've been a star
I've been second fiddle to your guitar
So you can go, Johnny you can go
Go, and don't you come back no more
'cos I aint gonna be your rock and roll widow no
more
She gets up early, takes the kids to school
He's taking breakfast by the hotel pool
She waits by the phone but it never rings
He's talking to a roadie 'bout his guitar strings
She falls asleep watching late night soap
While he's getting high on booze and dope
So you can go, Johnny you can go
Go, and don't you come back no more
Cos she ain't gonna be your rock and roll widow no
more
Life on the road is an overload
Of sight and sound, faces, places
Airport, hotel, sound check, gig
Sometimes the whole think just gets too big
He runs on stage and the fans go wild
She's trying to comfort a lonely child
Daddy's in the spotlight strutting his stuff
While Momma decided she had enough
In a little black book there's a number and name
Runaround Sue found her latest flame
So you can go...
