Cozy Powell in the 1970s

Colin Flooks later became Cozy Powell and was one of the greatest drummers the UK ever had. In 1970 Cozy was on stage on the Isle of Wight stage with Jeff Beck himself and went on to record two albums with the Jeff Beck Group. So you still do not remember Cozy hits?

How about the top ten hit Dance With The Devil which has to be one the best drum hits ever in the charts and had a big name on the base. Her name was Suzie Quatro who went on to have a No. 1 hit with Can The Can.

Cozy has a second hit called The Man In Black which got to No. 18 and which no one seems to every recall, including me. But Cozy went on to chart again as a group member of Rainbow with hits such as Since You’ve Been Gone.

His only other top ten hit was in 1974 with Na Na Na

Cozy died in a car accident in 1998 on the M4.

The Vintage Glam Rock 1970s Hits

Welcome to my vintage UK Glam rock hits programme. Glam rock was a style of rock that developed in the U.K. in the early 1970s and performed by musicians who wore outrageous costumes, makeup, and hairstyles, particularly platform shoes and glitter. The flamboyant clothing and visual styles of performers were often camp or androgynous, and have been described as playing with non-traditional gender roles. The UK charts were inundated with glam rock acts from 1971 to 1975, with glam also manifesting in all areas of British popular culture during this period. The March 1971 appearance of T. Rex front-man Marc Bolan on the BBC's music show Top Of The Pops, wearing glitter and satins, is often cited as the beginning of the movement. I've included a couple of tracks by Gary Glitter. Despite having been convicted and imprisoned, he cannot simply be airbrushed out of glam rock hence their inclusion. Enjoy three hours of 55 fantastic glam rock songs which is loud and proud from the offset. Cozy Powell, Barry Blue, Sweet, Gary Glitter, Mud
