DOWNLOAD NO.167 - DIGBY RICHARDS

NB. SEE DOWNLOAD NO.147 FOR MORE DIGBY RICHARDS INFO...

DIGBY RICHARDS HAD AN OZ HIT IN 1974 WITH "DO THE SPUNKY MONKEY" WHICH WAS A NOVELTY SONG...IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE SONG "GUITARZAN", BUT BETTER!

DIGBY WAS NOT AFRAID OF CHANGING STYLES MID ALBUM, GOING FROM SERIOUS LOVE SONGS TO NOVELTY SONGS.

HIS MUSICIANSHIP WAS UNQUESTIONABLE EVEN ON SONGS WHICH SOUND AS IF THEY WERE PRETTY MUCH DISPOSABLE ALBUM FILLER. HE HAS LEFT A LASTING LEGACY BUT SADLY THE R.C.A. YEARS HAVE NOT MADE IT TO C.D.

ENJOY "DO THE SPUNKY MONKEY":
