US and UK Songs that flopped at Home but HIT in Other Countries
OLD 55 replied to OLD 55's topic in Golden Oldies Top 40
Boz Scaggs 1976 Album 'Silk Degrees' is widely regarded as a Classic. It spawned some great singles, and the one we liked best in Australia was What Can I Say. Backed with Lido Shuffle it reached #2 here in mid 1977, six months after peaking at #42 in the U.S. -

That's fine Carole. It's not my favorite Connie song either, although I like just about anything she sang. I put it because I thought it would be well known. -

Thanks CJ. I definitely wasn't going to nominate, but Ray tempted me with his Brenda Lee nomination. I'm a sucker for 50s/60s girls/girl groups, so I thought I'd try to get Brenda, and Connie Francis, into the Ten. Trouble now is, I really prefer my other 2 noms (which were originally in my PTT) to the 'girls'. Call me fickle. -
