My favorite Smokie song has always been "Living Next Door To Alice." It always gives me the same vibe as "Sylvia's Mother" from Dr. Hook.

I was in a band playing the clubs in Northern England in the early seventies. We were playing a gig at a large Workingmans Club in Bradford, which happened to be the home base for Smokie. The band walked in during a break and asked if they could use our gear for an in impromptu show. They walked on stage, picked up our instruments and sound gear and proceeded to play three songs like they were a jukebox, as an aspiring musician I was truly impressed. Great guys to hang out with as well. ✌️

Smokie's "Living Next Door to Alice" is one of the quintessential pop/rock hits from 70's. Other Smokie classics include "I'll Meet You at Midnight" and "If You Think You Know How to Love Me".

What a pleasant surprise to listen to Smokie on your channel. They were really huge in South Africa in the 1070's. ABBA, Smokie and Boney M dominated the singles charts. Smokie visited South Africa many times over the years, always to sold out concert halls.

@chadmcnabb281 9 ай бұрын

This song was co-written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. They wrote songs like Ballroom Blitz and Little Willy by Sweet. They wrote songs for Suzi Quatro. They wrote Kiss You All Over by Exile and Mickey by Toni Basil. Mike Chapman produced several Blondie albums including Parallel Lines.

They are a great underrated band, with a great combination, of a tremendous lead singer Chris Norman, and fantastic background vocals! Living Next Door To Alice, If You Think You Know How to Love Me, Mexican Girl, I'll Meet You at Midnight, A Few Dollars More, San Francisco Bay, What Can I Do, and Belinda, are all super songs, especially Living Next Door to Alice.

@jamesdamiano8894 9 ай бұрын

Yes yes you guys have got to do “Living Next Door To Alice”. Good 70’s sound.

@notanotherenigma7759 9 ай бұрын

I was lucky enough to have seen Smokie twice. But they sound so good live, you might as well stay home and listen to their records! Yes, they are that good live. This song doesn't highlight how good their harmonies get, and they can produce it so well live!

Good to hear a 70's group who did some good songs. Soft rock with some good vocals and guitar. 'If you think you know how to love me' and 'Oh Carol' are other good ones worth checking out-Colin Ward

Chris Norman the singer has a huge catalogue of songs to his name. I saw him earlier this year in concert in Belfast and at 72 he sounded brilliant, as good as his recordings. Wild wild angels is a great song and his voice is awesome on it.

Smokies is one of those bands produced by the great Michael Chapman. He also wrote a lot of the songs for both of these bands ad well ad a group called Racey. He went on to produce Blondie and Pat Benetar's first album and taught Neil Giraldo how to produce her himself. Truly one of the greats.

Smokie used the great songwriting/production team of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman responsible for many of the hits of The Sweet, Suzy Quatro, Tina Turner, Exile (Kiss you all over) Mike Chapman produced hits for Blondie, My Sharona for the Knack and Several Bonnie Tyler tracks - Smokie had over a dozen hits in the UK - The best being If you think you know how to love me, Living next door to Alice, "I'll Meet You at Midnight" and "Lay Back in the Arms of Someone"

Jay and Amber, great choice!!!! Definitely you should listen to "I'll meet you at midnight" and " Living next door to Alice" from Smokie. Be careful from choosing a later remix ( not made by Smokie) of "Living next door to Alice" where they have some cursing words after the chorus. If you enjoy soft rock or country rock they have a large repertoire of beautiful tunes.

@Kuesel68 9 ай бұрын

Living Next Door To Alice!! Very poppy for this band but the story they tell there will make you cry. Smokie were out there on the Glam Rock/Power Pop scene together with your mentioned Suzie Quatro, Marc Bolan's T Rex, and Sweet - David Bowie was more arty but at that time was totally fitting in the scene with Hunky Dory or Ziggy Stardust. Slade is another band that came out from this scene - you definitely have to try them out!

Love Smokie, Chris has a great voice. Something unusual in the music business, Chris and his wife Linda have been married 53 years. He was once asked in an interview about why he has never been seen with other women (like rock stars do) and his reply was why go out for a hamburger when you have a steak at home. Such a great guy. You should definitely check out some of Chris' solo songs (he's done loads) a personal favourite is red hot screaming love.
