Hello
This song was originally a hit in 1960
under the title "Tell Her", and a bigger hit in the UK for Billie
Davis as "Tell Him" in 1963. The group Hello were a boy group from
London, and had already tried to get TV
fame by appearing on the teen show "Lift Off" with the beautiful
Aneysha who went on to star in the Gerry Anderson series UFO. I bet you did not
know that?
The teen group started off in 1969 and were
called The Age. Tell Him on Bell records
was their very first single chart success getting as high as No. 6 in 1974. I
actually still have this single!
They later had a minor hit with their
version of Bend Me Shape Me, but it was in 1975 they had their next and last
big chart hit. It was a good one too. New York Groove was written by Russ
Ballard from Argent and gave the group a top ten single hit in the UK and
Germany, from the album Keep Us Off The Streets. The single did chart in the
U.S. But it was in 1978 and sang by Ace Frehly who also performed with Kiss.
