Behind The Vinyl: Chilliwack "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)"

[@timmoore8773]

That song STILL is one of the catchiest around, 37 years later.

[@andregonsalvez9244]

OMG it's like 1981 back again ! Great times...

[@readmore4178]

One of the best songs to ever come from Canada.

[@markr.devereux3385]

Was COREY HART Canadian? SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT was pretty good. And don't forget ALDO NOVA

Great song ...that extended lead guitar break gives me goosebumps...man that's some beautiful playing ...Brian had the gift ...😢😂😂...wow!!! Thanks Bill for all the kind words about Brian 😊

[@soundsatdjs1964]

Heard this on SiriusXM on Yacht Rock Radio the other day. One of my favorite songs from 1981.

[@missmeowmix6114]

Oh my God how I loved that song and still do!!!

I will always love this track damn fine well crafted pop rock

RIP Brain Macloud , he was my first Guitar hero and a genuine musician . I got to do sound for Headpins when they got back together ( original line up ) around 1989 ish . The first thing I did was go ask Brian about his Amp settings and he was the guy the stories were all comprised from . He had Hi Watt 100 watt heads with volume treble and Mids cranked full to ten and the bass turned to zero . That’s how he got that amazing Guitar Sound and the name ‘too LOUd Macloud’ .

[@ryancarlisle2931]

Haha, that is super interesting! Good to know that little story. Its a brave thing to just crank mids and treble without some structured ground. Perhaps he mellowed some of it out with the tone control and volume knobs on the guitar etc, it actually derives an epiphany for me. Thank you.

[@markr.devereux3385]

HiWATT 100s were bassier than MARSHALLS to start with. I had a tube version back in the 80s I wouldn't dare turn it up to 10. My lord it cost $100 to retube which I did a few times.

Great tune. I miss those days but not dragging my Fender Rhodes around. Bill Henderson is still in great voice and seems like a really nice guy. Thanks for posting.

[@shyman99]

I thank heaven for this song. Not because I think it is their best, but because it gave them the exposure needed for me to discover this group and listen to their amazing catalog. "Fly At Night" is phenomenal and should be in rotation along side of the customary standards played on classic rock radio by Rush, Heart, Zeppelin, Floyd, etc.

[@M4R1N4]

Is Fly at Night on the same record as My Girl?

[@shyman99]

@@M4R1N4 - No, "Fly At Night"was a few years earlier in the 70's.

[@janetgowdy5822]

In my public school days our grade 7-8 teacher had our classes go on a early spring survival trip camping in cabins that were not winterized . We did all kinds of survival activities . We had to plan our week of supplies . At the end of our week we had the pleasure of CHILLIWACK playing for us. That was my first concert. It was a great one . Thanks CHILLIWACK.

That sounds amazing, did the band play at your camp? Where was this and what year? I'm envious 😂

First off Bill H. is a incredible musician as kids we heard the song Lonesome Mary' and thus began our journey into learning Guitar The double LP CHILLIWACK is still one of our playlist as is the early work of the COLLECTORS Way back, i met Brian M. many years ago and talked about Guitars and early Amps He was brilliant on so many levels, we were invited to his Boat at the the time is was tied up by the Bayshore Inn @ Coal Harbour Vancouver sadly we got busy and didn't go, his death a few years later is one of the greatest losses for Rock & Roll in Canada Thank you Bill H. and a Big Thanks to boom 97.3

His daughter was part of the Canadian pop group, WEST END GIRLS. Then she became back up vocalist for Sarah McLachlan

[@OakleyANDSittingBull]

Yes, Camille. I used to be friends with her in Vancouver. She worked as a composer and lyricist for Nettwork Records during and after her stint with Sarah McLaughlin. Her elder sister, Saffron, has sung background for Paul Rogers (Free & Bad Company) and others. Their mother is a professional photographer. I remember this song and a couple others from Chilliwack with joy. What a fun and vibrant time in the Canadian (Rock/New Wave/Alternative Pop) music industry! A very talented and friendly and aesthetically attractive family, the Hendersons! 😊

Awesome song

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

The song almost sounds like in the vein of The Doors's, "Touch Me Babe", almost hearing the Ray Manzarek inspired organ riff. The Gone Gone Gone Part almost mimics Manzarek's keyboard riff.

[@TalonMcGee]

Wow did not expect to see that headline! Grew up with their Opus X record, didn't find out about this song til much later, probably added to a cd as a bonus track or something along the way. My parents wedding song was Midnight
