Our local FM plays that Kings song every Friday just after 5pm. One of my favorites. Perfect Friday 5pm song.

tell me he did Leah...

[dfwgator]

That’s because Grace was not part of the band then.

[dfwgator]

And then they went from that to “We Built This City”. SMH.

[dfwgator]

I liked Donnie’s “Love Can Rock You”.

Donnie was also a member of The Jaggerz who had a hit with “The Rapper” in 1970.

[Chode]

no sh1t... i remember that one hit wonder heh heh heh

[Dr.Deth]

It was either that or Sniff N The Tears - Driver's Seat but Kings was 1980 specifically and this was 1978.

[Dr.Deth]

One more from the era that's just one of the great riffs, Diesel - Sausolito Summernight

[dfwgator]

I still say My Sharona is a kick-ass song from that era, with some good guitar on it. It killed Disco, dead!

[Chode]

Grace on the Letterman... ya gotta watch

I remember her drunken rant on stage in West Germany in the 1970s.

[Dr.Deth]

My Sharona was the the monster but always dug Good Girls Don't.

The problem was that Cheap Track ended up doing The Knack better than The Knack did.

[Chode]

i remember this one but never heard of the Kings, were they regional?

[Chode]

got a Steve Miller vibe but i kinda like it

[moehoward]

I worked for RCA during those years. Grace was still with them off and on, she’s on stage with them in the video for this tune. She was part of the band until they changed their name to simply Starship.

[Dr.Deth]

Regional? I guess... the Kings were Canadian, from the CCP colony formerly known as Vancouver. So the northern border towns may have gotten more play, Detroit, Cleveland etc.

[Chode]

OK, my bad, thought they were a US band is why i said regional and pertly why i hadn’t heard the song before

good stuff just the same

[SamAdams76]

So many great songs from that era. This is just one of them.

Same name, but not quite the same group. Look inside and you will discover where my screen name came from.

Yep. For about 10 minutes. Absolutely rocked. Being in Cleveland and as a Pittsburgh guy himself, he also rocked out a polka tune.
