wierd name, but has anybody heard of ~ johnny clegg ? Yeah, his music reminds me a bit of Graceland by Paul Simon (the album not the song) but much better and with more "soul" Hadn't heard his name for a good while, an Aussie friend told me to check him out when I was extolling the virtues of Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes. I was well impressed, but don't own anything by him. |

wierd name, but has anybody heard of ~ johnny clegg ? Hi again TomKid, Yes I've heard of him I even bought the Scatterlings of Africa single, which was shaped like the map of Africa - when was that the late 70s or the early 80's? The memory's definitely going !!! I seem to remember buying an album by them as well, but it couldn't have made much impression on me. Wasn't his band called Juluka? Cheers, Alan |

You are both right (well in a way) Juluka got to number 44 with Scatterings of Africa in Feb 83 Johnny Clegg and Savuka got to number 75 with soa in May 87 Johnny Clegg formed both bands |

Mike Harding was indeed.....but was omitted from the list of greats for his animal cruelty (as I ride by on my alsatian dog) and services to rambling  |
