Although they had another Top 10 hit in 1976 with a cover of Dusty Springfield's You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, Guys 'n' Dolls were unable to sustain their chart career. Originally a six piece group (three boy / girl couples), Guys 'n' Dolls continued as a foursome after David Van Day and Therese Bazaar (both soon to become more famous as Dollar) left the group in acrimonious circumstances.
In October 1974 I answered an advert in Melody Maker where a company were looking for three girls and three boys for a new vocal group. It didn't sound the sort of thing for me but I rang the number and secured an audition. I should have had my audition on Tuesday 29th October but when the day came it was pouring with rain and I decided as it probably wasn't what I was looking for I would not go. I phoned the office and made an excuse. This is where fate or whatever took a hand. If Jenny the secretary had said OK thanks for letting me know and left it at that, I would not have got the job and my life would have taken a completely different course. As it was she said could I make the following night at 6 o'clock. For some reason I said "yes".The following day it was still raining and all day I was saying to myself I won't go, but when it got to 4.o'clock I thought "Oh I might as well". I threw my old accoustic guitar into the back of my beaten up Ford Cortina and had a miserable drive in the rain to Green Street near Marble Arch. I breezed in with more a hint of annoyance than nerves, gave a quick rendition of "I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane" and got the job.
The original six of us, Dominic Grant, Martine Howard, Julie Forsyth, David Van Day, Thereze Bazar and myself, met for the first time at Verreys Restaurant in London's Regent Street, at 8.00pm on Friday 8th November 1974. I was the first to arrive then Thereze closely followed by Julie, Dominic and David. Martine was about half an hour late (this was to be a regular habit) as she was a member of "THE YOUNG GENERATION" Dance Group and had been working on the "LES DAWSON SHOW".
I got on well with Dominic straight away as we had a love for football in common and we had both previously been in groups. The others had all been to stage school but seemed OK. At the meal there were just the six of us and our three managers to be, Chris Arnold, David Martin and Geoff Morrow, they had been a chart group themselves a few years earlier called "BUTTERSCOTCH". During the meal AMMO, as their company was called, said that they had decided to call the group "GUYS n' DOLLS". I was horrified, how was I going to back and tell all my "Heavy" friends that I was in a group called "GUYS n" DOLLS".
We signed a letter of intent and then AMMO gave each of us a demo record of a song called "There's a Whole Lot of Loving" and told us "This is your first record".We asked when we were going to record it and thats when they dropped the bomb shell. Ammo told us that it was a finished record that had been recorded by session musicians, (David Martin had sung the boys lead line himself) and they were convinced that it was a hit record as it stood, they called it a "magic mix" they did not intend to re - record it but they wanted us to be the group. I went away from this meeting with mixed feelings, I was unhappy about us not singing on the record, having had a similar situation with "KINCADE", and I wasn't sure if the group was going to suit me. I liked the group as people so I thought that I would go along with it and see what happened.
Ten days after we first met we had our first photo session as Guys n' Dolls and went to Magnet Records to meet the boss Michael Levy ( Now the infamous Lord Levy, Tony Blairs mate). We decided that we would meet socially so we could get to know each other, so we spent a couple of days at Julie's house in Whetstone North London. We also had rehearsals with our Choreographer called "Brookie". Another problem for Dominic and myself was that we had to learn dance routines to the songs and this was something Dominic and I had never done. Where it would take the other s about half an hour to learn a routine it would take Dominic and myself about a week. I had never sung before without playing a guitar.
"There's a Whole Lot of Loving" was to be released on Friday 10th January 1975 and a week before it had it's first plays on Radio 1.Tony Blackburn played it on his breakfast show, raved about and said that he would play it again before the end of the show, which he did.The same day it was reviewed on "Round Table" by an old friend of mine Les Gray of "MUD" (Less)

Sharon Tandy escaped anti-semitic hatred in her native South Africa by moving to Swinging London in the mid-60's. Her sound was so soulful that she took the name "Tandy", which meant 'Black' back home, as a badge of proud solidarity. Backed by the crack Mod band, the Fluer De Lys (famed for their cover of the Who's "Circles"), she belted out soul strutters, epic ballads, and psychedelic monsters like "Hold On", "Daughter of the Sun", and "Gotta Get Enough Time". She even recorded four great songs in Memphis with the crucial Booker T & the MG's, a year before Dusty's great album. Though she never got enough acclaim for her work, an excellent retrospective CD called "You've Got To Believe...It's Sharon Tandy" brings it all together for the world to catch up.
