Shabby Tiger - Slow Down • TopPop

Shabby Tiger was a British glam rock band that was active between 1974 and 1976, the waning days of glam rock that reached great heights end sixties/ begin seventies with artists such as Mud and The Sweet. Despite being largely unnoticed in their home country, Shabby Tiger achieved success in Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The successful lineup consisted of Henderson ‘Hendy’ Gibson on vocals, Toni Baker on keyboards, Graham Fielden on drums, Dave Almond on guitar, and Mike Ryan on bass. Prior to his involvement with Shabby Tiger, Henderson co-wrote and sang backing vocals for Billy Ocean and the Nolan Sisters in the early 1970s. Their first single, "Slow Down", reached the charts in Scandinavia, Germany (no. 1), The Netherlands (no. 6), and Belgium but failed to make an impact in the UK. Other songs were "Amourous Lady", "Devil Rides Tonight" and "Stone Angel". They played many shows abroad, often with The Sweet, Darts, and Thin Lizzy but eventually disbanded in 1976 after releasing five singles and one album. Unfortunately, lead singer Henderson Gibson passed away from lung cancer on March 26, 2013. Mid 2022 his son posted a message on a video of Shabby Tiger om which he said he was reforming the band with himself as the singer and the other four original members and they went up in the studio recording new songs. This video was broadcast on TopPop on August 15, 1975.

Henderson senior is a god!

[@kimbozw1808]

this was a breaker under the UK charts in March 1975. Went Top 10 in Netherlands and Denmark and No. 20 in Sweden in 1975. A remixed version without the heavy breathing vocals came out in 1977 and reached No. 19 in Sweden, Top 10 in Rhodesia and Top 3 in South Africa. The rest of the world seemingly remained immune to the charms of the group. South Africa gave the group a second Top 5 hit, LOVELY LADY, in 1977.

Ich weiß nicht, ob der Sänger Probleme mit dem Playback oder dem Text hatte, aber die Lippenbewegungen stimmen nicht mit dem Text überein. Trotzdem ein toller Song.

Tolle Stimme, aber beim Gitarristen weiss man nicht, ob Mann oder Frau?

The faces look weird, like they've been put through AI. It's replaced their actual features. It's not restoration. Your channel has been one of the best things on KZbin for years but doing this is really polluting the historical nature, I feel.
