5.0 out of 5 stars A lost pop gem, May 31, 2009

By 

Minstrel "Top Of The Pops" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Movie Star (Audio CD)

"Movie Star" may be the most recognizable song, but this album has a lot of other wonderful songs. "Motorcycle Mama" is every bit the equal of "Movie Star" and songs like "Rock'N'Roll Clown," "In The Zum Zum Zummernight" and "I Wrote A Love Song" are also excellent. And "San Franciscan Nights" is a brilliant song, though a cover (originally written by the Animals).

Sure, he's not a hip, innovative artist. He's "merely" an artist who penned a number of great mainstream pop songs. There's nothing wrong with writing straight-forward, catchy pop songs. They're fun to listen to. Consider him the Swedish Bay City Rollers.

This item contains a substantially different group of tracks from Harpo's 1976 release, "Moviestar." Compare before purchasing.

Not much to say other than the one hit wonder sadly means the chaff comes with it. Is this song worth the cost of the full CD? On the right night after a few beers with the right company --- probably yes.
