Obv being a memeber of the Strokes he's had loads of hits. His dad on the other hand has had two, one called Free electric band in 1973 and a top ten hit with the Family Dogg in 1969 called A Way Of Life. However wondering if this band are more well known else where (so like Spain, Germany, Denmark) or was it a case of one hit and then they split, with him going into writing? and what are the famous songs that Albert Hammond has wrote.

 

 

(also below the Family Dogg in the listings, well on the other page is a band called the Family Cat, where they the first people to use the FCUK thing or was French Connection also using it in the early 1990s??)

 

 

but if its a new song it aint retro!

 

daddy however is!

 

why not find 'free electric band' or/and 'way of life' on youtube instead of this?..

Albert Hammond Senior has also written/co-written a multitude of hits for other people including

 

Don't Turn Around (Ace Of Base/Aswad)

 

Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now (Starship)

 

When I Need You (Leo Sayer)

 

When You Tell Me That You Love Me (Diana Ross)

 

Air That I Brethe (Hollies)

 

to mention a few..

and obv youtube not gonna answer the question that people here should be able to do (thank you fiesta!!!)

 

 

The Family Cat were ace and, indeed, did get to FCUK long before French Connection. Before Dedicated they were on Bad Girl records (if memory serves me correct) and released a number of great singles from 1988 (?) before fizzling out somewhat with 'Magic Happens' in 1994.
