Heavenly shades of night are falling. Its Twinkle Time. Out of the mist Norman Grant's voice is calling. Its Twinkle Time.
Come with me way back to 1983 to enjoy a couple of tracks from The Twinkle Brothers album "Burden Bearers". By this point the original band of brothers were no more and it was Mr. Grant with some hired hands. But what hands they were - Flabba Holt, Style Scott, Steely in his pre-Cleevie days, Dean Fraser, The Mad Professor and more. No wonder the record sounds so good.
"Jah Jah Gonna Get You" - The Twinkle Brothers
"Unemployment" - The Twinkle Brothers
Other Twinkles are available.
Very nice - I particularly enjoyed 'Unemployment'. And you just triggered memories of the 'new picture paper specially for little girls' - without which no female 5-year old's life was complete - my the lovely 'Twinkle' comic, full of stories about toy hospitals and the occasional free plastic bracelet. Ah.
ReplyDeleteNever having been a little girl I'm not very familiar with that Twinkle. Was it an early inspiration for your own chosen career?
