I first came across ‘Sparks’ when they were working with Giorgio Moroder in the late 70s and the song ‘No.1 Song In Heaven’ was in the charts and on ‘Top Of The Pops’ but as with most things, discovering the late 70s Sparks sound led me to seek out their earlier works of which song is my favourite!
Despite the fact that Sparks come from my favourite place (Los Angeles) they have a distinctly European sound and style and the combination of Ron Mael
on keyboards accompanied by the crazy high pitched delivery of Russell Mael made them stand out from the crowd as a musical force to be reckoned with!
I have a number of Sparks records in my collection and particularly enjoyed the 1994 revival and song ‘When Do I Get To Sing ‘My Way’’ but ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us’ is Sparks at their best!
My son Oliver is also a fan and loves this song too.
Enjoy….
