Time For Action - Secret Affair
Not that I ever had a clue where the in-crowd met... but how great was it to be a teenager listening to music in 1979? There were so many different styles of music out there, at the same time, in the charts. This charted around mid-September 1979, and Secret Affair, a Mod revival group, would have been rubbing shoulders with the Specials and Madness who were 2 Tone, Gary Numan who was synth, Boney M and Sister Sledge who were disco, Boomtown Rats who were New Wave, Darts who were doo-wop (I hated them), Buzzcocks who were punk and Cliff Richard and Johnny Mathis, old farts who just refused to go away.
I am not saying they were all good, but there was certainly plenty of stuff to choose from, and I have to say that clean-cut Mods in suits made a change from scruffy gobbing punks ;)
