Showaddywaddy
Showaddywaddy were formed in 1973 in Leicester, England, from two groups, 'The Choise' and 'The Golden Hammers', the latter often being shortened to just 'The Hammers'. Showaddywaddy is still rocking with hits such as "under the moon of love", "a little bit of soap" and three steps to heaven. The first few
singles were all written by the band and these generally reached the top-20. Then they
released a couple of cover versions, 'Three Steps To Heaven' and 'Heartbeat'. These both
reached the top ten before SWW reverted back to the bands' own material. However, these
again failed to reach the top-10, so they went back to cover-versions and they entered
the top-10 once more. The cover versions were all pop versions of old rock 'n' roll
songs. They were catchy tunes backed up by their colourful image, dance routines and
numerous television appearances. |
