Come Back My Love - Rocky Sharpe And The Razors

[@Santi66]

Great, Rocky Sharpe, with the Razors and the Replays

[@Magicttmt]

This is GREAT to see. I was MAD on both Darts and the Replays but didnt know they were 'as one' in the beginning. I saw Darts live in 1978,...... what a thrill! :D

[@collierandrew]

Respect. Rocky was brilliant. I last saw Rocky & the Replays live over 25 years ago years ago at the old Three Rabbits in Manor Park, East London. He made some smashing records.

[@MARLEYCATLOST]

Nice to see Rocky Sharpe without sunglasses. He is very hamsome, no need for the sunglasses

[@rogerauclair1670]

I remember seeing Rocky Sharpe and the Razors in The Nashville Rooms (now the Famous 3 Kings) in West Kensington on St. Valentine's Day back in 1976 or 1977. There was always the obvious comparison to Sha Na Na but the main difference was that Rocky Sharpe and the Razors / Relays were way better than Sha Na Na could ever hope to be. My heart goes out to Rocky Sharpe, real name Robert Podsiadly who has multiple sclerosis and is a full-time resident at the Queen Alexandra Hospital Home (QAHH) in Worthing.

[@Doowopski]

And here they all are: Rocky, Big Den, Johnny Stud, Griff Fender, Slick (who became Rita Ray in Darts), Rhino on guitar, Horatio on horn, Barmy Baz on piano, Machine Gun Max on stand up bass and of course Bubbles on the drums.

[@andrewcollier1093]

What a lineup. Superb.

[@matty1284]

i never knew that The Razors split to become Darts and Rocky Sharpe and the Replays.

[@sanjikaspinoni8396]

Me neither...Until today! Seeing this messed my head a little.

[@Doowopski]

Sha Na Na definitely had an influence in the creation of Rocky Sharpe & the Razors performance. And of course many 50's doowop groups added significantly to the creation. Sha Na Na however performed in the USA where audiences were much more familiar with the music. The Razors were importing it to the UK and certainly had their own twist on performing given the big characters in the band.

See recent comments in 'Martian Hop - Rocky Sharpe & the Replays' on You Tube for update on the Replays.

[@mikeystrafford]

This was pretty much the Darts. Den Heggarty from Tiswas.. Mega. This is FANTASTIC doowop. MIKEY XX

[@parisboogie]

fantastic band......rock on

[@0049User]

I saw this lot at the Sussex Sports Centre in Brighton maybe a year or so before this film, and also went to school with Nigel Trubridge / Horatio Hornblower, the sax player (who had his own trad jazz band at school). They were great then, and Darts were also excellent. and look at the young Janet Street Porter introducing them.

[@highpath4776]

I had forgotten the London Weekend Show !

[@ajb7876]

Good stuff,love that sax solo.

[@paulpalmer1946]

Best group ever

[@Doowopski]

This video just made Mojo magazine's Readers Top 10. Pretty cool!

[@pennymitchell7146]

did the person who saw them at Sussex see them with Shaky Stevens.. that was a charity concert I organised!!!!

[@Doowopski]

Sorry! The update is on Shout!Shout! Knock Yourself Out! - Rocky Sharpe & the Replays not Martian Hop.

[@keef71]

god bless den hegarty and rita

[@veejaythernrdj]

I've got a nice CD on Chiswick via Ace that came out in 1993 - the booklet gives a nice breakdown on personnel (who played what and when, plus who went on to the Replays or Darts)

[@sectionbooe]

The Darts did a fantastic show as support band for Jerry Lee Lewis in 1975 Belle Vue Manchester.

[@motorvating]

RSR were big in the UK, they had loads of music in the charts. There problem for them the Rockin scene evolved into the Rockabilly scene and they got left behind.

[@jeff1962-y]

Den was well behaved here . Got more of a mad personality in Darts. Liked him more when he was zany.

[@snackleforkofemir]

Anyone got "So Hard To Laugh"? Favourite song!!

[@joseantoniomartinezmartine3747]

DOWOOP ...!!

[@paulmajor8865]

Darts took the song to number two a couple years later

[@matelot95]

do you think they've been watching Sha-Na-Na?

[@matelot95]

Sha-Na-Na played Woodstock.

[@doowopfanuk]

shame they split nice harmony here!

[@bladesmark1]

+doowopfanuk They became much better as Darts don't you think?

[@ooWandereroo]

The Hundred club

[@bobwallacejnr6852]

Were these before the darts

[@toulousedart]

Yes, several members subsequently formed Darts with others going on to create Rocky Sharpe and The Replays

[@Paul-11]

@@toulousedart Darts were great, just looked up The Replays and remember the songs too Rama Lama & Shout Shout ....good looking guys and gal.

[@davieboymax]

[@matelot95]

[@porkulator]

[@gunners1971100]
