Life Is A Rock
(And The Radio Rolled Me)
~ Reunion ~
Reunion was a studio group created around songwriters Norman Dolph and Paul DiFranco, which scored with this novelty song in 1974. The group released a number of singles on RCA Records with no luck when writer/producer DiFranco approached writer/singer Joey Levine to work on the song which ultimately became their only hit. The song had been written two years previously but had remained unfinished. Levine, Dolph and DiFranco took final writing credit and it was recorded in a bubblegum style (Levine had had success writing hit songs in the 60s for studio bubblegum outfits such as the Ohio Express, and was a member of the Third Rail). "Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me)" reached number 8 in the US in late 1974, but further releases under the Reunion name failed to chart. They did not record any albums and the project was soon shelved.
