Muahahaha, the first two answers are wrong, these girls are probably so young that they don't know "Middle of the Road" is THE GROUP'S NAME who sang "Soley Soley" in 1971.
They are a scottish band, had a lot of hits until 1976, then they suddenly got quiet. Boney M. and ABBA were much bigger then, and Middle of the Road kinda disappeared.
The original Leadsinger is Sally Carr. She was replaced by a much younger singer in the mid 80s (which I didn't like, I once walked out of a concert when I saw it was not sally on stage).
When I saw the band in Goslar 1994 at a Festival, Sally was back again, and they were great. LIVE performance, and they sounded like the old records did. Who of these new modern artists can do that, huh?
Here are some more songs worth listening to:
"Yellow Boomerang", "Kailakee kailako", Tweedle dee, Tweedle dum", "Bottoms up", "The talk of all the USA", "Samson & Delilah", "Samba d'Amour", "Sacramento", "Everybody loves a winner".
I have a "Greatest Hits" CD of them twice, contact me if you are interested! All original recordings with Sally Carr!
